Students in our sponsored Interact club at Wyndham Central College school have been active in supporting the Story Dogs program.
Recently, they ran a fundraiser at school. They sold dog biscuits and key fobs at the school to raise money to sponsor another Story Dog for one of the college's feeder schools, Manor Lakes Primary. The day was called 'A Splash of Orange' and anyone who wore something orange gave a gold coin donation.
The Story Dogs program is designed to assist young children to improve their literacy skills and their self-confidence by reading to the dog. The accepting, loving nature of dogs gives this program its magic and helps children relax, open up, try harder and have fun while reading to a friendly, calm dog.
Pictured in the photo are dog owners Esthee and Sue with their wonderful story dogs Daisy and Ellie.
Well done Interactors. A very special project.
