National Simultaneous Storytime – The Truck Cat

This week, our school proudly took part in National Simultaneous Storytime, joining over 2,204,658 students across Australia in reading The Truck Cat by Deborah Frenkel and Danny Snell.

This heartwarming story follows a road trip adventure full of friendship, belonging, and finding a place to call home. 

We were especially excited to hear the book read aloud by the author herself, Deborah Frenkel, who shared that her inspiration came from her Jewish family's heritage in Eastern Europe.

It was a wonderful moment of connection as our entire school gathered to share in the story. Each class received a certificate of participation, and it was a joyful reminder of the power of stories to unite us all.
