To celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day, we welcomed Donnas to the service for story time with the children. Thanks for joining us Donnas!

At BDCS, literacy is woven into everyday experiences through stories, language, songs and conversation. Every story shared, every song sung and every conversation helps children enjoy literacy and become lifelong learners.

We thank The Indigenous Literacy Foundation for generously gifting beautiful books for the children.
