'Luna Roo' kicks off National Simultaneous Storytime 2026. We are so excited to be part of this event!!

On Wednesday 27 May 2026 at 12.00 pm AEST, millions of children, teachers, and library lovers across Australia and beyond will come together to read Luna Roo at the same time — celebrating the joy of reading, storytelling and connection.

The story follows the spirited kangaroo Luna and her friends as they chase their football dreams across the outback, blending action, teamwork and fun to inspire young readers. Luna Roo was selected from 84 submissions from publishers around the country.

All our children watched the teaser video this week and got to know Matildas star Elise Kellond-Knight, who will be narrating the story and heard from the creators about how Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller leapt from idea to storybook page! Much excitement!

Library sessions for 2026 will be held on Thursdays. Please kindly remind your child/children to return their books on the day.

If you have any questions about our Library or the Scholastic Book club, please don't hestitate to email me at premalatha.parmar@shpreston.catholic.edu.au

Happy Reading!
