Book Fair – Term 1, 2026
A huge thank you to every family who supported our Buy One, Get One Donated Book Fair this term. It was a wonderful way to begin the year, and our students were absolutely thrilled to choose new books to read and to contribute to their classroom libraries.
Thanks to your generosity, over 150 new books will be placed across all classrooms, offering a rich variety of styles and genres for students to enjoy. Once the books have been labelled, they will be ready for students to dive into during reading time throughout the day.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our school community. Your contribution helps us continue to foster a love of reading and ensures our students have access to engaging, high‑quality literature.
