What's happening in Term 3

BOOK WEEK IS HERE!

LIBRARY WINDOWS AND DISPLAY

Did you spot your favourite staff member in the library windows?

Our library windows have been transformed into a world of adventure! Some staff floated away in hot air balloons, others rocketed into space, while a few went skydiving, camping and on safari, or even set sail with pirates.

Just like our windows, books can take you anywhere, adventure always awaits when you open the pages and let your imagination lead the way!

The Book Cover designs will be judged by the library captains next week and winners will be announced at assembly.

INTRODUCING OUR BOOK WEEK MASCOT - MS BOOKWORM

Ms. Bookworm’s Adventures at Karoo

Ms. Bookworm has joined us at Karoo and wasted no time diving into adventures! She was hidden all around the school, and during Library Lunch Club her visit turned into an exciting scavenger hunt for those who wanted to take part. Judging by the excitement and smiles, it’s safe to say everyone had a fantastic time!

Ms. Bookworm has loved her adventures and was excited to see everyone at the Book Week Parade!

PREMIERS’ READING CHALLENGE 2025

HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE BEEN READ?

The total will be updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the library windows as well as the PRC board inside the library. Keep an eye out to see if your class can take the lead! Keep logging!
