Pyjama Day  ~ St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal Fundraiser

Pyjama Day Success! A huge thank you to all of our wonderful families for supporting our Pyjama Day fundraiser last Friday! Together, we raised almost $100 for the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal. Your generous contributions will make a meaningful difference to those in need this winter.

LITTLE STARS BOOKCLUB!

We are absolutely thrilled to officially introduce our brand new initiative here at Sacred Heart: Little Stars Bookclub!

Over the past few weeks, we have been working closely alongside our wonderful local preschool to build a beautiful bridge between early childhood learning and our primary school community. This initiative is all about sparking an early love for reading, storytelling, and discovery in our littlest learners before they even take their first official steps into the classroom.

How Does It Work?

Each session, the children gather for a special storytime adventure read aloud by one of our school teachers. But the fun doesn't stop when the book closes! Following the story, the children are fully engaged with:

• Library Borrowing: Selected picture books are roatated between the children while we work up to individual selection. 

• Take-Home Activities: Fun, hands-on activities packed up for pre school or families to enjoy together, extending the magic of the story long after they leave the school gates.

We are so proud of this partnership and can't wait to see our Little Stars Bookclub grow. Keep an eye out for photos of our upcoming sessions!

Premier’s Reading Challenge

The NSW Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is a statewide annual initiative aimed at fostering a love of reading in all students. Students complete the PRC by reading a range of books. Some books must be from the PRC booklist, while others can be personal choice books. In the PRC, K-2 students read 30 books and Years 3-6 read 20 books. Reading completed in class may also count towards the challenge. Parents and carers who would like to keep a record of reading completed at home can use a physical reading log. Please contact Mrs Franklin if you have any questions.

Library

Remember, library borrowing day is every Wednesday. Please bring your library bag and return your books each week, or re-borrow them if you need more time to read.
