Multicultural Day at Amaroo School

Friday 28 July is Multicultural Day at Amaroo School. There is a display of books about Countries in the Inspire centre to celebrate our diversity. Mrs Otten was born in Papua New Guinea in a place called Lae. Papua New Guinea is a beautiful country with beaches and mountains. 

This is how we travelled around Papua New Guinea. 

This is where I went to school. Madang International school.

Come and share your story with Mrs Otten in the Inspire centre.

I hope you have all had a great break over the past couple of weeks. What did you read? There are some exciting things planned for the Inspire centre this term. Keep checking the blog and posters displayed around the school for more information. I had the opportunity to attend the ASLA (Australian School Library Association) Conference in Sydney this week and was inspired with lots ideas for our school. I can't wait to share these with you.
