Library Bags

Each child needs a library bag for their library lesson with their name marked on their bag. It’s important that all students (K-6) have a library bag as they protect books in their school bag from being damaged and any accidental spills. We love to see homemade bags, store bought bags, or even plastic bags; anything that protects books is great!

National Simultaneous Storytime

St Philomena's K-2 students participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) which was held on Wednesday 27th May.  

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA).  Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. This year's book was 'Luna Roo the kangaroo baller ' by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake A. Minton.  

Students listened to the book being read and had a fabulous time participating in a variety of activities.
