Literacy Grant to Local Schools

In 2008 the Rotary Club of Gawler Light offered for the first time a grant of $2000 to local schools with Junior Primary students to support Literacy improvement. The club recognises the personal and community value of high literacy skill and wishes to contribute to this cause. The Rotary Club of Gawler Light invited interested school in the Gawler catchment to submit application.  The grant offer is to assist a school to support Junior Primary students who are currently below the minimum standard in Literacy achievement and who do not currently receive support from the school’s funding organization

The 2008 grant was awarded to Gawler Primary School who used the money to establish “Literacy Bags” for their Junior Primary students. Each Literacy bag contained a children’s book along with stimulus materials related to the book. The books were from both the fiction and non fiction categories and stimulus materials included toys, construction models, puzzles etc. The school reported that the bags were a very successful innovation in stimulating children to read and involve family members in supporting interest in reading.

The club hopes to offer literacy grants to local school annually.
