Learning & Teaching
Learning together as one community
Welcome back!
Please find attached our Term Four Curriculum Overviews.
Book Fair
Our Book Fair is back at Holy Spirit!
It will officially be 'open' from Grandparent's Day - Monday 28th October.
Students will visit the Book Fair and complete a 'Wish List' of items they may wish their families to purchase. These items can be purchased at the Book Fair or online using the QR Code & details on the wish list.
Please note: this is absolutely optional. Families do not need to make a purchase if you do not wish.
All proceeds from the Book Fair will be put right back into the school's literacy program to purchase books and resources.
Our Book Fair will be open for the following times:
- 10am-12pm on Monday 28/10
- 8.30am to 9.30am and 2pm until 4pm on Tuesday 29/10
The Book Fair will be leaving our school on Wednesday 30/10.
On Monday, if Grandparents wish, they are more than welcome to purchase items from the Book Fair for their grandchildren.
There will also be an option to purchase books for our School Library in their grandchild's name. A recognition sticker will be placed in all books donated to the school library from our grandparents. Thank you to the grandparents who donated in 2023!
We hope to see you all there at the Book Fair!
