The Strathearn School millennium project is a significant part of this development. Nancy Spencer, Principal, Strathearn School. The challenge for youth in the next century will be to find ways of connecting and forming close relationships. In our high tech society it is becoming increasingly easy for children to lose sight of the importance of participating in society. Good books offer thousands of opportunities for kids to envelop themselves in the choices fictional kids make in real situations.
Stories are a way for readers to connect with characters and with themselves.
When the time comes, an avid reader may be ready to join in society and create stories of their own. All human work on the project is voluntary. Parent groups have been active in Strathearn School since 1953. We have chosen this project to mark the new millennium in a concrete way that challenges and stimulates us and provides a lasting legacy to both school and community. We are excited about this project and committed to succeeding.
