Guest Speaker

On Thursday, June 15, the distinguished author, Christopher Cheng, will be visiting our school to discuss his work with students in all grades.

Christopher has produced a wide selection of children's books including a famous series of novels set in the Australian gold rush in the 1860's. This will be of particular interest to Stage 3 students who are studying the gold rush this semester.

Christopher will be our Book Week speaker in advance this year.

Children's Book Week will be held from August 18 - 25.

The special slogan for Book Week 2023 is Read, Grow, Inspire!
