Scholastic Book Fair

Wednesday 14 - Friday 16 August 2024 

Each year St Patrick’s engages with Scholastic to host a Book Fair in the lead up to Book Week. In Week 4 a ‘pop up’ style Book Fair will be set up in the Library. All students will visit the Book Fair to view books and other items for sale. Information on how to purchase items will be sent home on Compass and with your child. The Book Fair will be open to parents before school on Wednesday 14th August and Thursday 15th August and briefly after school on these days. 

The funds generated by Book Fair directly benefit our school. In 2023/24 we purchased new books and graphic novels for the library, an extensive collection of decodable readers for our literacy programs and classroom novel sets for our older readers.

Whilst Book Fair raises funds for our school we understand that all family circumstances are different and there is no pressure to purchase. Book Fair is just one of the many things we do! We are grateful for the many other ways our St Patrick’s community supports our library, be it borrowing books and using our digital collection, participating in our reading challenges or dressing up for Book Week.

We look forward to seeing you!
