Premiers' Reading Challenge

Participating students are 70 days into the reading challenge and have read over 1,600 books! Mia L of 2MT is our current Star Reader with 81 books completed. Keep up the good work everyone - only 117 days to go.

CBCA Children’s Book of the Year Awards

The Children’s Book Council of Australia have announced the shortlist for the 2025 Book of the Year Awards. The library has all six nominated books in the following categories on display: Early Childhood Book of the Year, Fiction for younger readers (8-12), Picture Book of the Year and Information Book of the Year. Over the next few months, students will read and discuss these fabulous books before the judges announce the winners during Book Week in August.

Library Bags

This is a friendly reminder that students must bring a library bag to their library session each week. Library bags help keep our books clean and offer protection from rain and water bottle spillages. We are pleased to announce that our uniform supplier PSW now offer a navy drawstring library bag with the Essendon North Primary School logo for $18.95.
