Costume reminders
Students can come to school dressed as their favourite book character. Please follow these costume guidelines to ensure your child can still learn and play safely when at school:
- wear closed-in shoes
- no weapon props (swords, knives or guns)
- no costumes or masks that may frighten younger students
choose a costume that is easy to remove for bathroom visits
Book Fair times
The Book Fair will be held in the school hall. Students and families can purchase books at the Book Fair using EFTPOS or cash payment (correct amount) on the day.
From 8:15-8:40 am, students with parents and carers cna purchase books before school.
From 9-9:45 am, K-2 students with their parents and carers can purchase books.
From 10-10:45 am, Years 3-6 students with their parents and carers can purchase books.
From 11:30 am onwards, Meadowbank students (whose parents and carers cannot attend on the day) will be given an opportunity to purchase books.
Books can also be purchased online. Stationery (pens, pencils, erasers) cannot be purchased online. Please note, books purchased online will arrive a few weeks after the Book Fair.
Fundraiser
As part of our celebration, we kindly ask that you bring a gold coin donation for the Dymock's Children's Charities: Library Boost Project (kindly organised by the P&C).
Every dollar raised helps put brand-new books into the hands of disadvantaged students as well as raising funds for our school library.
We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating our love for books together! Can't wait to see all the creative costumes!
