2027 Booklists and Parent Contributions

We are currently finalising arrangements for our 2027 student booklists and parent contributions, which were presented to School Council last night.

We are pleased to confirm that we will once again be partnering with Winc Education to supply student booklist items for the coming school year.

We are working with Winc to finalise the documentation and anticipate sharing all the necessary information with families within the next week, including details on how to order booklist items for 2027.

We appreciate your patience as we finalise these arrangements and look forward to providing families with the information needed to plan and prepare for the 2027 school year. 

Bulldogs Read Literacy Program

Our involvement in the 2026 Bulldogs Read Program concluded last week with a celebration day at Russell Square Recreation Facility. 

Students enjoyed taking part in the Bulldogs Inflatable Roadshow, a shared lunch with peers from other participating schools along with an author presentation from local Ballarat Author Jack Henseleit (See link - Jack Henseleit | Booked Out).

2026 has once again been another brilliant year for the Bulldogs Read Program – with over 600 book reviews posted on our Bulldogs Read website from all participating schools, it has definitely been one of the biggest yet, with student engagement at an all-time high.

You can read those book reviews here https://www.bulldogsread.com.au/2026-book-reviews

This has been our school’s fourth year in the program, and we have been invited to submit an expression of interest to take part again in 2027…fingers crossed that we are selected to be part of this terrific program once again!

We are currently in the production phase of the 2026 school magazine which promises to have many memorable photos and articles that help capture the year that was.

Home Reading  

Last week at our year P-2 assembly we acknowledged students in those year levels who have successfully completed 50,100, 150, 200 and even 250 nights of home reading so far this year.

These students have also demonstrated a great deal of commitment and organisational skills by recording all books that they have read and submitting those details on time each week as part of the homework expectations.  A huge congratulations to the following students:

50 nights
