BOOK FAIR is coming in Term 3.  

The BOOK FAIR is returning in Term 3.  

We are looking forward to hosting a Lamont Book Fair at our school in Week 1 & 2 of Term 3.  This is a family and Australian run company we are working with again this year.

A Book Fair is an opportunity to purchase quality literature for your children or friends.  All students will have preview times in their Library lessons during week one. Students will bring home a wish list to discuss with you about them purchasing one or more of their selected books.  Purchases are made either online or orders can be placed in the class buckets with the correct purchase amount and students will receive their books within a few days of placing their order. 

The Book Fair will be open during Parent/Teacher Interviews in week one if you would like to visit and preview the books on offer.  

Other times the Book Fair can be viewed are before and after school on Friday 25th July. Then in week two it will be open each day before or after school until the last day, Thursday 31st July when it ends.

Please note there is no obligation to buy but our school does receive a generous commission in the form of books to add to our library.  

Along with EFTPOS and cash payments we offer the option of payment via our online payment portal. The online payment portal works similar to a voucher. We deliver the book fair as normal, the students browse the book fair and fill out their wish lists. They then take their wish list home and make the payment online (this includes inputting students name, grade and what books they want), the student then returns to school to collect the books from you at the book fair. Online payment instructions are on the back of the wish list.

Lamont Books send through a summary of the online payments made each morning , so that we know who has bought what.

PRC - Premier's Reading Challenge 2025

The PRC - maybe the holidays are a good time to log in and add books that have been read.  We're over halfway until the Challenge ends!

  If you have any issues logging in or you misplace the details, please just email me and I can send to you.

For now, keep reading and adding books to their online account.  We have until September.

I will verify books that have been added every few weeks.

We now have FOUR STUDENTS who have completed the challenge - WOW!

Overdues - we have a small number of students who keep forgetting their books and these are dated back to April.  Could we ask parents to remind your child/ren to look them out and bring them back please.

Spare Library Bags - we have a supply or actually we had a supply.  Can we check in school bags, under beds, on home bookshelves or the car for any of them and return them please.  Thank You

Mrs Karen Wakeling.
