Lindsay's story

Improving literacy and numeracy at CatholicCare Tasmania

"We've seen huge benefit in CatholicCare. I think any organisation that has the opportunity to work with 26Ten, it's a fantastic opportunity to support their organisation and ultimately the clients that we are all working to support."

A pathway to learning

Melanie talks about her story as an adult Learner, her love of the Kinimathatakinta/George Town Library and her future.

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
