To help parents with children in years K-2, Orange Credit Union will be using a part of their generous Community Support Grant to provide books for the school’s home readers project.

“It’s really great that we’re here in Blayney to help the school to provide such a useful resource for the students,” she said.
The credit union dispersed funds to eleven different groups in Orange and another in Manildra.
The school’s principal Jaime Medbury said that the books will really help the students improve their literacy skills.
“It will enable the students to read at every level,” she said.
