Afternoon parents and carers,

Term 3 might just be the best term yet! Time to dust off those sewing machines and thread those sewing needles to craft some amazing book themed outfits. 

The most magical week of the school year is nearly here. From Saturday, 22 August to Friday, 28 August, we are celebrating Children's Book Week 2026. This year’s official theme is "Symphony of Stories", celebrating the beautiful, chaotic, and colourful ways that different characters and narratives come together. 

Our annual costume parade and open morning will be held on Thursday, 27 August. This is a wonderful morning where our students invite some special people or grandparents along to see our costume parade and check out their learning with a visit to the classroom. We are inviting people to come in from 9:30am - 11:00am on Thursday, 27 August to meet in our gym. 

We would love all families to donate a new or preloved book for our library. Book donations can be dropped into the front office in the box provided. A dedication will be stuck inside letting our APS community know that you have donated a book.

The Premiers’ Reading Challenge is still in full swing. If you are reading and love to enter your books and reviews, keep doing so. This challenge concludes in September. Each child will receive a signed certificate at the end of the challenge. If your child has misplaced their login and password, please email and it will be resent.

If you have any overdue books that might be hiding around your home, could you please return these to the library.

Happy Reading!
