Gumbaynggirr Language CampGumbaynggirr Language Camp facilitated at Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre. This allowed for transmission of Gumbaynggirr from our last Elder to speak Gumbaynggirr as his first language to our youth over the course of 3 days.
Reading Acquisition ProgramThrough our partnership with Southern Cross University (SCU), we delivered the BURT Reading Assessment for
the first time. The BURT test measures a child’s reading age and compares their result to their actual age.
The results highlight that we have significant work to undertake in order to improve the literacy of our children. This test will now be conducted annually and it is our goal that we’ll see vast improvement annually.
