That's a wrap on another wonderful children's book week presentation!

Thank you to Dianne Wolfer for sharing her creative process behind her children's books and inspiring the students of GDHS to try it out for themselves.

Kids were very happy to find out Dianne is from Albany; many of them had actually been to the beach that inspired the book, "Granny Grommet and Me". Just goes to show you don't need to live in Perth to be an author!

Our Children's Book Week® presentation was made possible with the support of
The Government of Western Australia through
The Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport
and
The WA Branch of the Children's Book Council of Australia

The Children's Book Council of Australia
Gnowangerup District High School

Introducing AusAlert

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest
technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile
devices.

It will be ready to use in October 2026, but before it launches, we
need to test the system across Australia.

On Monday 27 July, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones,
tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.

The test times across Australian time zones are:
• 2:00 pm AEST (QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS)
• 1:30 pm ACST (SA, NT, Broken Hill NSW)
• 12:00 pm AWST (WA)

The message will vibrate and include a loud, siren-like sound that
lasts about 10 seconds. If this could disrupt you or cause you or
a loved one to feel unsafe, please turn off your mobile devices or
switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in
your location, and leave them off for at least one hour.

As this is just a test, you don’t need to do anything, but in an actual
disaster you should follow the alert instructions to keep yourself and others safe.

To learn what an AusAlert sounds like, visit ausalert.gov.au
