Scholastic Book Fair

Thank you for your wonderful support of our Book Fair.  We are excited to be able to purchase new resources for the library due to the incentives we have received from Scholastic.  We now have an additional $1200 to spend on new books.  Thank you once again.

Celebrating Book Week

We are excited that Book Week will kick off next week.  Below is a summary of the events we will be holding over the next two weeks.

Tuesday 20th August - Book Week Dress Up Day

Students can come to school dressed as their favourite character. Our parade will take place in the Hall immediatley following morning gathering. Parents are very welcome to attend.

Wednesday 21st August – Great Book Swap

WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF BOOKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL CAUSE!!

Please drop any donated books to school by next Monday.

We will be showing our support for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation by holding a ‘Giant Book Swap’ during library lessons on Wednesday. For a gold coin donation students can choose a book to take home from a selection of donated books.

To support this important cause, we are calling for donations of pre-loved (but still in good condition) books. These books will then form part of the Giant Book Swap. We are hoping to receive 200 books so there are enough books for each child to take part in the swap. If you are able to donate a book, or maybe even two, books can be left in the tub behind the library desk or dropped to the Front Office. 

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation aims to raise enough funds to gift over 35,000 books to remote communities in 2020. We would love to show our support and assist in addressing the literacy gap in Indigenous communities.  

Friday 30th August – Big Dreams Performance

Our whole school will come together for the ‘Big Dreams’ performance in the Hall at 9:10. The performance links together the themes of the CBCA shortlisted books for this year.  

Chief Minister's Reading Challenge

Only one month to go on the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge. The Challenge will conclude on Friday 13 September. Please ensure all completed forms are returned to school by this date. Keep up the great reading over the next month!
