Library 2026

Orders for Book Club Issue #4 are still open and will close on Friday June 12th. Please place orders online and books will be delivered to school.

Last week, students participated in the annual National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) event. The chosen text, 'Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller' was enjoyed by all. After reading the story, students participated in a variety of discussions, comprehension activities and creative responses. Some students chose to enter the national jersey competition and are in the running to win a variety of prizes.

Library Borrowing:

Many students are enjoying their library loans and we have lots of new titles on the shelves. Please encourage your child/ren to borrow and share their books with you at home. Year 3-6 students are working hard to earn stickers on their loyalty cards! 

Please remind your child to bring a named library bag to school each week.
