2024 Wollongong Living Books

Wollongong Living Books is a council run program where real people, known as ‘books’, share their life stories and experiences. Our Year 10 students became ‘readers’ last week and listened to the stories of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds. This event enriched our students’ study of ‘Belonging’ in English through facilitating a meaningful connection between the curriculum and real-world experience.

All of the books had a unique story to tell, and we are so thankful to them for helping our students see the world from a new perspective. A big thank you to Wollongong City Council for your organisation.

Regards

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
