WELCOME TO TERM TWO

It has been a lovely start to the term in the library. The last two weeks students across the school have been exploring the history and significance of Anzac Day through engaging with picture books.  Our classes have discussed important themes such as courage, mateship, and the meaning of remembrance.  It has been moving to see the students show such respect and curiosity as they learn about this vital part of our national identity.

FUNKY FRUIT/VEGETABLE REWARD

Students are encouraged to bring their library bags in on Wednesday or Thursday (depending on their borrowing day) to have a chance at winning the funky fruit/vegetable reward for the week. 

Week 1 winner was Noah (Year 5) who won "Sweetie the Sweet potato" and the Week 2 winner of the Potato Family "Mash, Bake, Fry and Roast" was Milijana (Kindergarten).  

BOOK CLUB

Scholastic Book Club catalogues for Term 2 went home last week. Orders are due through Loop by Thursday 7 May 2026.

PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE  

The reading challenge deadline is Friday 18 September 2026. There are detailed instructions below about how to log books your children have read. If you are unable to access an appropriate device or internet connection at home for recording your child's reading, please just record the titles and authors on paper and they can bring them to me to record them.  For more information about the Student Experience Site you can watch the video available here. 

Adding Books 

Step 1: Follow this link to the Student Experience Site

Step 2: Log in using the button in the top right corner with the details on your child's PRC login card.

Step 3: To record books already read (you can include books that have been read earlier this year), click on the avatar in the top right corner, then click on "My Reading Log". NB: Books should only be added when they have been read from cover to cover!

Step 4: Start typing the name of the book read into the "Add a PRC Book" search, select the title from the drop-down menu and click "Add".

Step 5: If the book does not come-up in this search, it is not a PRC list book for 2026 and needs to be added as a personal choice book. Type the title and author into the fields and click "Add".
