BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS

The Children's Book Council of Australia is proud to announce the winners and Honour Books for the 2025 CBCA Book of the Year Awards. Congratulations to all the remarkable creators and publishers bringing Australian stories to life! 

During library lessons this term, students had the opportunity to explore the CBCA shortlisted books in a variety of ways. This learning also continued through their Book Week activities and literacy blocks in the classroom. This allowed students to enjoy rich stories, share their interpretations and deepen their appreciation of quality children’s literature.

LAMONT BOOK FAIR

We are delighted to share that our recent Book Fair was a wonderful success, with total sales reaching an incredible $6,207!!! This achievement would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and support of our school community. We are truly grateful to our students, families and staff who attended, purchased books and encouraged a love of reading. We look forward to purchasing many exciting new titles for our school library with our commission!!!

Congratulations to Ava (1/2SM) who raised a total of $200.75 through the sale of her handmade bookmarks! Ava will be donating the full amount to Ronald McDonald House to support families in need. We are so grateful for your kindness and support—thank you!
