Book Club

Issue 6 of Book Club is out and it is packed full of amazing books and other fun things to help enhance your child's reading. Scholastic often provides a range of books that cannot be purchased at a regular bookshop. They also create amazing bundles of book that can be great for birthday presents or simply adding some new books to your child's home library. 

How to Order:

• Visit scholastic.com.au/LOOP or use the Scholastic app to place your order.
• You can also browse the catalogue online.
• Please note: Book Club orders can only be purchased via credit card. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept cash payments at the school office.
• Issue 6 book club order closing date is on Friday 11/09/26, 9:30am.

Remember, 15% of any books you purchase from Book Club will go towards the school's credit which the library can then use to purchase new books free of charge. This will help us continue to expand our collection and purchase books for your children to enjoy.   

In other Book Club news, thanks to the generous contributions of our school community, the library now has a total of $1,159.70 to purchase new books. Mr Matthews will be looking into buying books from Scholastic over the next few weeks. Thank you again to everyone who uses the Book Club service. Every purchase helps grow our library and benefits all students.

Stage 2 Author Visit with Andrew McDonald

This week, we were excited to welcome renowned Australian author Andrew McDonald to Chatswood Public School. Best known for his Real Pigeons graphic novel series, Andrew captivated our Stage 3 students by sharing the real-world inspirations behind his quirky and adventurous characters.

Andrew also introduced Stage 2 to his other popular work, Hello Twigs, delighting the students with insights into his creative universe. Throughout the visit, Andrew explained his writing process, from initial idea generation to drafting and finally creating small comic books with the students.

The interactive sessions were a huge hit, with many students enthusiastically purchasing copies of Real Pigeons and Hello Twigs to be personally signed by Andrew. It was a fantastic experience that sparked creativity and a deeper appreciation for storytelling and illustration among our students.

Until next week Chatswood. Keep on reading.
