IN THE LIBRARY

Week 10 - WORLD CUP FEVER

During library lessons, World Cup fever took over as students designed and created their own football jerseys inspired by countries competing in the Soccer World Cup. Their colourful and imaginative designs celebrated the spirit of the tournament while encouraging creativity, cultural appreciation and a love of reading and learning through a global sporting event.

Week 11 - NAIDOC Week

Students enthusiastically participated in activities celebrating NAIDOC Week 2026, exploring this year's theme through stories, discussions and creative learning experiences. These activities encouraged students to deepen their understanding on the importance of respect, connection and community.

FUNKY FRUIT/VEGETABLE REWARD

Students are encouraged to bring their library bags in on Wednesday or Thursday (depending on their borrowing day) to have a chance at winning the funky fruit/vegetable reward for the week.
