Library News

Last Wednesday St Paul students participated in the Australian Library and Information Association’s National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). This is an event that is held nationally with students all around Australia reading the same book at the same time! This years book was Family Tree by Josh Pike and Ronojoy Ghosh. Children were able to hear the story read by the author and enjoy a song. In the library we created a ‘school family’ tree to celebrate NNS and Reconciliation Week. Children and staff were able to add their name to the tree to show support for each other as part of our school family and respect for our different stories.
