Students come to school with limited school language and a knowledge of the world that is restricted by our locality. Teachers at Dajarra State School engage students in rigorous reading programs to develop the skills of students. We also encourage a love of books and reading for entertainment. From our Community Playgroup to our Kindy and Prep to 6, the Books in Homes Program is the vehicle that carries our students across our dusty outback plains to new worlds and wonders. We thank our Sponsor Glencore for making this possible. BIH_119_Primary.indd 7
