Shaping Lives with Stories
MEDIA RELEASE August 2012 Shaping Lives With Stories The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) will launch Indigenous Literacy Day at Wesley College’s Glen Waverley campus, Wednesday 5 September. Students from Years 5-9 will learn about the ILF’s work in raising literacy levels and improving the lives and opportunities of Indigenous children living in remote and isolated regions. Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin AO (known as “Aunty Joy”), a prominent Indigenous Australian, who has been actively involved in Aboriginal issues for more than 30 years, will welcome the students and talk about how stories have shaped her life. Special guests and the Foundation’s ambassadors Kaz Cooke and Felix Riebl, who have traveled out to remote communities with the Foundation, will also speak to the students about their stories and the opportunities that they have had in their careers. Kaz Cooke is a former news journalist, but is best-known as an author whose books have entertained two generations of Australian women. Felix Riebl is an Australian singer- songwriter and percussionist, who has achieved success as one of the lead vocalists from The Cat Empire. Wesley College is one of the Foundation’s key school supports and the college’s student advocacy group, Wesmob, will make a special presentation on the day. Wesmob work to raise awareness about Indigenous issues, rights and welfare. The donated money will go towards the purchase and supply of culturally appropriate books and literacy resources for over 200 remote communities around Australia.

Mt. Gambier Local Wins 2018 ARIA Music Teacher of the Year Award!
MEDIA RELEASE 28 November 2018 Mt. Gambier Local Wins 2018 ARIA Music Teacher of the Year Award! Scott Maxwell from Grant High School in Mount Gambier is the winner of the 2018 ARIA Music Teacher of the Year. The win was announced at the star-studded ARIA Awards, held at The Star in Sydney. The ARIA Music Teacher of the Year Award is run in partnership with leading arts education organisation, The Song Room and sponsored by Telstra. It’s been a wild ride for Scott, who was selected from hundreds of submissions. His inclusion as an official ARIA Nominee was celebrated with a surprise visit by Guy Sebastian, who made the trip to Grant High School in October and sang his hit song Battle Scars with students from the music program. Since then, four nominees from across Australia have been put to a public vote, with tens of thousands from around the country showing their support for their favourite music educator. ‘Maxi’ as he is affectionately known, has transformed the music program at Grant High since he took over in 2009. There are now double the amount of music programs offered at the school, and triple the number of students enrolled in the music program. Scott’s success is attributed to his aspiration to make as many music genres accessible as possible, to adapting his teaching to suit the needs of his students, and to placing an emphasis on creating opportunities for public performances. His approach has seen the cohort at Grant High School thrive. What started as small live shows in the school canteen at lunch time, has quickly grown to full community festivals for students to perform under Scott’s guidance.
