CBCA Book Week - "Reading is Magic"
Thank you to all the parents and friends who joined us for our annual Book Week parade! Events like this really do encourage a love of reading, and also an appreciation of illustrations and the different methods used to create them. Thank you again, we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did.
Infants parents, please make sure to check out the beginning of our Concrete Garden out the front of the Infants Library, inspired by one of the CBCA Shortlisted books "The Concrete Garden". Book Week activities will continue in the library for the remainder of the week, including making "Gymnastica Fantastica" dancing ribbons at break time.
We are so lucky to have purchased all of the 2024 CBCA shortlisted books. These books will be available for students to borrow soon.
