Marist Reading Night – Save the date
Date: Wednesday, August 5
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Location: Draney Theatre
We are excited to invite students and fathers (or father figure) from Year 5, 6, 7, and 8 to join us for an evening of literary fun and community bonding at the Marist Reading Night!
The evening will feature an inspiring talk from an author, opportunities for students and their guest to read together, a book stall where you can browse and purchase new books, exciting book prizes, and light refreshments to enjoy.
In the lead-up to the event, we are asking all Marist parents to donate a book suitable for a child in Year 5-8. These books should be in good condition and will be sent to children in Papua New Guinea through our Mission team.
We look forward to seeing you there!
