Library Update

2024 NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME

On Wednesday students will join other schools and libraries across Australia in a celebration of story.

National Simultaneous Storytime is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Kindergarten to Year 6. 

This year's title Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker is a picture book about longing, searching and love. The story includes a  love of nature, and passion for our fragile environment, as an abundance of plastic pollution is clearly on display.

Our infants classes will enjoy a range of activities to support this beautiful book and enhance their love of reading!

ILF BOOK SWAP

The Great Book Swap is a fantastic way to celebrate reading locally, and raise much needed funds for remote communities through the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. 

We are currently collecting any donations of your pre-loved books (Children's books only). All donations will be stored until Week 8 Wednesday 19 June when we will hold our very own Book Swap.

Tables of books will be set up at school where the children can browse and purchase a loved book for a gold coin donation, all the while helping children in remote communities of Australia.

Happy Reading!
