Literacy

It’s our Scholastic Book Fair — a special time for our entire school community, being held at Yarra Road Primary School from Friday 15 – Tuesday 19 November.

Students will view the products and write wish lists before the fair officially opens. The fair will be open before and after school – the dates and times are below. It would be a perfect time to explore the affordable books and products with your children. A portion of the sales benefits our school directly.

If you would like your child to have some books, you have 2 options: 

• Option 1: Pay online and write the receipt number on the back of the wish list, along with the books you have paid for. Then send your child to the fair with the receipt number and amount on the back of their wish list.
• Option 2: Come to the Book fair to buy – eftpos will be available.

Help build your child’s classroom library by donating books through the Classroom Wish List program. Book titles are handpicked by each teacher, and every book represents a much-needed library selection for their classroom.

Points gained from sales go towards acquiring new books for the school library and to building classroom literacy resources.

The Book fair will be open before and after school on Friday 15th, Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th  November  (8:20am – 9:00am and 3:30pm – 4:30pm)
