SEAT Project Silent Auction

During the last two terms, the Year 5 students have been participating in the SEAT Project. The aim of this project has been to promote compassion in the students for those less fortunate. At the beginning of the process they assembled a stool and researched Vietnam, the country in which the stool was made. We spent time thinking about our strengths and how we, and others, have made a difference in the world.

As part of the project students also researched charities they might help. We looked at many charities and the amazing work that they do. We were all struck though by the statistic from the Indigenous Literacy Foundation that stated “only 34% of Indigenous Year 5 students in very remote areas are at or above national minimum reading standards, compared to 95% for non-Indigenous students in major cities.” As a result we chose to support the work of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) (https://www.indigenousliteracyfoundation.org.au).

Each group of students has now decorated the stool that they made at the beginning of the processes. We are now hoping that through you we will be able to sell these so that we can make a donation to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
