Scholastic Book Fair Thursday November 30th.

Our school is currently holding a Scholastic Book Fair.  It is like a book store coming to school, which is very exciting.  It will be a great opportunity to perhaps buy some books as Christmas gifts.  The Fair is now set up in our library and all the students will have the opportunity to go and look at the books with their class over the next week. They will have the chance to fill out a wish list, naming the books they like, to bring home to discuss with their family. There is no obligation to purchase the books on this list, it is just to give you an idea and create a discussion about the books. This will be made clear to the students.   

Similar to the Scholastic Book Club, our school benefits from the sales at the Fair by receiving a percentage to be used to purchase new books for our library and classrooms.

 Next Thursday 30th November 2023, the Book Fair will be open for students, parents or carers to come to purchase books if they would like to. It will be open before and after school from 8.30am to 3.30pm, or any time during the day. We will have eftpos payment available or if preferred, the books can be paid for in advance and the students can bring in a docket to exchange for the books. Brochures with the information on how to do this are coming home this week, and there are spares in the office foyer if needed. 

We would prefer for there to be no cash payments for the Book Fair please. However, there will be some second-hand books available for purchase by donation to the library if anyone wants to bring along some change. 

There was a Book Fair Arrow colouring and decorating competition held over the last couple of weeks.  Thank you to all the students who entered, the arrows look amazing and all have been placed around the school to direct everyone to the library where the Book Fair is set up.

Congratulations to the winners who received a voucher of $15 to be used to choose a book from the Book Fair next week : Joe Bradshaw, Mackenzie Grayling, Louisa Payet and Henry Price.
