Coming Up at FWPS

Get ready for some reading adventures in Term 3! From Monday, 17th August - Friday, 21st August students will be celebrating Book Week at school. 

This year we are excited to host two fabulous authors. Emma Bowd will be visiting grades Prep, One, Two and Three to share her books and an exciting new release! The times for this visit may need to be changed - more information will follow. On the 27th August, Jane Godwin the author of A Fall From Grace, Look Me in the Eye and many more fabulous books will visit the grades Four, Five and Six students.  

Please pay and confirm your child's attendance via Compass once the event has been published.

As always, we will conclude the festivities with our book themed activity day and dress up parade on Friday, 21st August.

For our eager students and families, start planning your Book Week parade costumes now, ready for the big event!

This year the theme for Book Week is a Symphony of Stories. This might give your family a little extra direction when trying to decide on a character to dress up as. But we all know, all books are an adventure so just choose a costume that brings your child the most joy and excitement to wear.

Books 'n' Boots Donation Drive

FWPS is once again collaborating with the wonderful, local charity Books 'n' Boots. Last year, our school community donated a huge number of boots to First Nations children in need. This year, we are looking for donations of books (including baby books, children’s books, novels, graphic novels and young adult books). Please make sure they are in good condition. These books will be re-homed to First Nations children in need in regional and remote communities across Australia.

The big, wooden Books n Boots donation box can once again be found in the foyer of the school office. Please drop your book donations directly into the box before the end of Week 4, Term 4.

Thank you in advance!
