Indigenous Literacy Foundation

This year during Book Week  (Term 3, Week 7) we will hold another Great Book Swap. After the wonderful support the event received last year we would like to show our support to the Indigenous Literacy foundation (ILF) again. The Giant Book Swap will take place on Tuesday 24th August. In order for the event to be a success we are asking each student to donate a pre-loved book, that is in good condition, and can be enjoyed by someone else. On the day of the book swap students will then be able to choose a new book to take home for a gold coin donation. The money we raise is used by the ILF to purchase books that are then sent to regional and remote Indigenous communities. 

We ask that all donations of books be made prior to the Friday 20th August. Books can be left at the Front Office or with Mrs Hardwicke in the Library. Thank you in advance for your support of this important initiative. 

Chief Minister's Reading Challenge

Thank you to all those wonderful students who have taken on the challenge and have returned their completed forms already.  The challenge concludes on 6th August so there is still time to get your forms in to Mrs Hardwicke.  Please ensure forms as received by no later than Friday 6th August to be eligible.

CBCA 2021 Book Week

Term 3 is always an exciting time for the library as we celebrate Book Week and spend the term looking at this year's short listed books.  We were excited to receive our delivery of this year's short listed books during the holidays, and these are now available to our students and will be used during library lessons this term.  

This years theme is 'Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds'.  We have a range of exciting events planned for Book Week and the students are already looking forward to our Book Week dress up day on Wednesday 25th August.
