Hi Kylie. Just confirming that Annette Millar has been booked for sessions with students on 21 August as follows: 11.05 – 12.20: 1.5 hours 12.20 – 12.50 LUNCH - 30 mins 12.50 – 1.50pm: 1.0 hour Could you please let me know the ** year level and approx group size ** for each of these sessions (2 x 45 min sessions B4 lunch?) I also need details re the session working with AIOs and students struggling with literacy (making their own book in Kriol Aboriginal English). The numbers of students in this group will depend on how many AIOs are available. Annette needs to be able to liaise with a designated AIO or teacher prior to the 21st, as each student would need to produce some artwork/drawings (approx. 4 each) to work with, and these would need to be send to Annette prior to the day. Could you please provide me with the ** name and email details ** of this person so that I can pass them on to Annette this week? Thanks for your support of this event. You should receive an invoice in the next week or so for $400. Lastly! I have attached a poster for the Cheese and Wine Reception at the Shire (5pm the same day). Could you please pass on to all staff and parents via your newsletter? Thanks very much, Chris McLachlan Community Liason/ Library Officer Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley PO Box 188 WYNDHAM WA 6740 Ph: 08 91611002 Fx: 08 91611295
