Such a moving production. Well done ILF and Happy Indigenous Literacy DAY! SO wonderful to hear about the books in First Nations languages, and especially to listen to the read aloud. Great to learn more about the projects and the behind the scenes collaborations. You are making an impact and educating others about the value of Indigenous literacy and literature. Respect and love to you all. Dr Amy Farndale (UniSA) 'Tina's Mum'

This is good show

[@michellewassell212]

This was so inspiring to watch. Thank you to all the amazing children, families, their teachers and all the supporters for such a beautiful, inspiring and thought provoking event and program.

What a great idea! I can certainly relate to the young children in this video and the rest of the Indigenous communities. As a child from migrant parents I did not know how to read and speak English when I started school at Melbourne in 1968. The teachers basically ignored me in class and of course came along the racism that I have experienced in all those years growing up. It was extremely difficult. I struggled for many years at school. My first language is Greek. So happy to learn about this Literacy Foundation, well done guys. This warms my heart. Here's hoping and praying for a brighter future to all the Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

[@fionalyon9613]

I can’t wait till it’s live! I’m learning about it at school!

[@clarenceregionallibrary1883]

Thank you for this fabulous event!

[@sharplikerazor]

This is so incredibly inspiring! So wonderful to see all of those kids genuinely excited by reading and creating, growing strong in their culture and keeping their communities strong. As a pre-service teacher this gives me such motivation to share Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language and stories with my future students! Keep up the amazing work!

[@bidja68]

Very Inspiring, congratulations!

OMG!! I lived in Avalon when I was five! Is it still good? Do you go to the beach? I loved the pool that’s on the end of the beach I went there everyday in summer!

[@michaelmurray5177]

A beautiful professional production celebrating an important literacy initiative.

[@zackaryharvey1983]

[@saras596]

[@yvonnebarrett3040]

Inspiring to watch this live! I will be sharing this event.

[@gayemckee]

Will you be adding anything about the Torres Straits? We are a very small remote school in the Torres Straits. I don't see anywhere on your program about the Torres Strait Islander culture.

[@greggdreise2409]

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been working with Torres Strait Island communities in delivering books and creating books. The AMAZING host Natalie is a proud Torres Strait Islander :) See you soon.

[@bradleycue3908]

This was really helpful

[@CrAZychicke]

This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing... some of my favourite authors and musicians here. I showed Nina's video to my preschoolers today, they loved the story. Love to hear all the first languages & see the children's excited faces being part of this wonderful program.

[@melissahamilton2441]

I am a grade 3/4 teacher and our students are working from home remotely. We would like to be a part of this day. How can we get students to watch this from their homes? Can you please confirm that the time is 12.30pm? Thank you

[@IndigenousLiteracy]

Hi Melissa, thanks for your message! This event will go live at 12.30pm, and will be available on our KZbin in perpetuity for everyone to watch - so if 12.30pm doesn't suit you, it's not a problem as the event can be viewed at any time afterwards. Simply send the URL link to your students and they'll be able to access from home. We also have a second event aimed and Primary school learners, which goes live at 2pm tomorrow 2 September via Sydney Opera House. You can register for this event here: go.ilf.org.au/learn Registration is free, but booking is essential. Sydney Opera House will send you a link once you've registered, which you can send onto your students.
