Book Week 2024 Events

The theme for this year’s CBCA Book Week is ‘reading is magic’ and we have lots of fabulous events and activites planned for Week 5. The students are buzzing with ideas for the dress up day and we can’t wait for our parade. The teachers are rehearsing their roles for the teacher play…

Friday 16 August – Sue Whiting Author Visit

Tuesday 20 - ILF Great Book Swap

Thursday 22 – Book Character Dress Up Day and Parade

Sue Whiting Author Visit

We are looking forward to welcoming Sue Whiting on Friday 16^th August. She will present a workshop to K-2 and 3-6 students. If you would like to order any signed copies of her books, orders can be placed through The Book Cow and will be delivered to school. Please see the flyer for how to place your order.

The Great Book Swap – Thank you to the families who have donated books. Please keep them coming in! We are almost there but still need a few more books.

This year we will again support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) by hosting a Great Book Swap. The Great Book Swap will be held next term as part of our CBCA Book Week celebrations. To help make the day a success, we are asking each child to donate a book in good, second-hand quality. Books can be donated at any time this term and can be dropped at either the front office or given to your child’s teacher. On the day of the Great Book Swap each class will visit the book stall and be able to choose a book for a gold coin donation. All money raised will then be used by the ILF to purchase books for Indigenous children in remote communities. We hope you will help us to support this great initiative.
