LIBRARY NEWS

Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are.  Here’s some things you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love of reading:

Set the example.  Let children see you read.

Have a collection of books in your home.  Update this collection routinely to keep up with changing tastes and reading skills.

Support our school’s Book Fair.  Allow your children to choose their own books to read.  91% of children say their favourite books are the ones they have picked for themselves (Australian kids and family reading report 2017).

Our  Book Fair is a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level, promoting engagement in reading.  The Book Fair enables you to increase the books in your own home libraries, as well as the proceeds going to the school to provide further resources for both the classroom and the school library.

Book Fair dates: Monday 16th March - Friday 20th March  

Shopping hours: 8.30 - 9.30 am, 3.00 - 4.00pm each day.        

Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.

We look forward to seeing you and your family at our Book Fair.  Remember, all purchases benefit our school.
