Book Week News

Scholastic Book Fair

Our annual Scholastic Book Fair will arrive at Scoresby PS today, Thursday, 14th August, to coincide with Book Week 2025.  

The Scholastic Book Fair is a much-loved institution at many schools, including Scoresby PS, and we look forward to being able to give families the opportunity to browse and purchase a selection of wonderful children's books.

The Book Fair will be open to the school community for sales in the school Library between Monday 18th August and Wednesday 20th August - 8.30-9.00am and 3.30-4.00pm each day.  Posters with sale times have been placed around the school this week.  In addition, each student will receive a flyer giving a preview of just some of the titles available to purchase from the Book Fair.

Book Week Dress-Up Day

Our annual whole-school Book Week Dress-Up Day will be on Thursday 21st August. For this day, students may come dressed as their favourite book character or book title, or inspired by the theme of this year's Book Week, Book An Adventure.

We will have a whole-school Parade of Book Characters in the hall at 9.00am. Families are most welcome to attend.

This is not a fundraiser and no gold coin donation is necessary.

CBCA Short-listed Book Discovery

We will be providing plenty of opportunities for to students to discover and celebrate the wonderful 2025 CBCA short-listed books throughout Book Week.  A particular highlight, which we enjoy every Book Week here at SPS, is having some of the senior students share a CBCA shortlisted book each day with the whole school through a read-aloud session at lunch eating time.

Book Week is always a wonderful opportunity to highlight reading in many different ways...and we will be doing this with gusto at SPS!
