Library News

VERY excited to welcome our new Preps to the library in their first full week of school! I was thrilled to share with them our fabulous new space and show them ALL the books. Their excitement was contagious! 

There is a new online open for Book Club.  Catalogues will not be going home if you're interested, please place an order online or if you'd like a paper copy please let me know.  There are a variety of books on offer with some great cheaper options. Delivery to the school is free if the order is made by the 21st March. Scholastic has sorted their delivery issues from last year and delivery was very quick for the last issue which was great.  https://mybookclubs.scholastic.com.au/Parent/Login.aspx 

As always, email me with any questions.  Happy reading!  Miss Kat
