National Simultaneous Story Time Grade 1/2s

Luna Roo' kicks off National Simultaneous Storytime 2026 

On Wednesday 27 May 2026 at 12.00 pm AEST, millions of children, parents, teachers, and library lovers across Australia and beyond will come together to read Luna Roo at the same time — celebrating the joy of reading, storytelling and connection. Now in its 26th year, NSS stands as one of Australia’s biggest collective reading events, with over 2.2 million participants joining from more than 16,600 locations last year.

 The story follows the spirited kangaroo Luna and her friends as they chase their football dreams across the outback, blending action, teamwork and fun to inspire young readers. Luna Roo was selected from 84 submissions from publishers around the country.

FPS were invited by Fitzroy Library to attend NSS ( special thank you to Tegan!!) Students in 1/2A, 1/2B, 1/2C & 1/2D participated in the annual event at the Reading Room in Fitzroy then participated in a soccer session with One Ball.
