IT’S BOOK TERM!

Welcome to 'Book Term' at Kalinda! There’s so much reading happening here; read on to find out more!

Book Week ‘Book Drive’!

If you have any kids books in excellent condition that your kids have outgrown (or just never quite got into), we’d love to take them off your hands! Any donated books will be a much-appreciated (and undoubtedly much-loved!) addition to our classroom libraries, and to our main library.

Books can be donated at the office Monday to Friday during Book Week (August 26-30th)

MS Readathon

This August, we're aiming to read 1000 books as a school with the MS Readathon. That's just over two books per student! Join us in reading to raise money for individuals and families living with Multiple Sclerosis by signing the kids (or even the grownups!) up to our school MS Readathon fundraising page.

Here's how your family can join:

1. Go to https://www.msreadathon.org.au/register/2024 
2.  Select either 'My child to read' or 'My children to read'
3.  Select 'New Family' or 'Returning Family'
4.  Enter your details, and your child's details. In the box 'School (Optional)', choose Kalinda Primary School 2024 Ringwood Vic
5. Start reading! There's no pressure to raise a fortune - every single cent helps people with MS and their families.
