Catch a Reader
We love to celebrate our readers at Meadowbank Public School. We’re excited to share a reader profile. We spotted Eliza reading in the library at lunch. Check out the book she is currently enjoying!
Reading in the Holidays
We would love all our Meadowbank students to continue reading over the holidays. Students can borrow books from our school library this week and keep them over the holidays. The holidays are also a great chance to keep reading and logging Premier’s Reading Challenge books.
While Meadowbank School library is closed over the holidays, we encourage all our students and families to visit our local libraries and continue borrowing and reading books.
