CMIS Evaluation

• Indigenous Literacy Day and
• National Reading Day

Schools and libraries are important organisations that provide support for our students to participate in all of these events and achieve positive literacy outcomes.  If you still have some energy after Book Week, they are both worthy of the attention of your students.

And – if you have some time after all that – September 8 is:

• International Literacy Day

For resources to support any of your literacy projects, visit our CMIS website to subscribe to our Blogs and CMIS Resource Bank.

       Does your school have PALS?

PALS, which stands for Partnership, Acceptance, Learning and Sharing, is a reconciliation initiative run by the Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) in partnership with the major sponsor, BHP Billiton.

Is your school interested in advancing the reconciliation cause? Then entering the 2008 PALS Schools Reconciliation Awards could be just what you’re looking for. Schools entering for the awards receive a grant of $750 to fund their project.

School projects can be entered in any of the following categories:

• Community Development
• Education
• Environment
• Arts & Culture
• Health
• Sustainable Partnerships

 The awards are presented annually at the Wardarnji Aboriginal Cultural Celebration. Wardarnji is held on the second last Saturday of November on the Fremantle Esplanade.
