Scholastic Book Club

Our first Book Club (Issue 2) of the year has arrived and been distributed.   We are closing order on Wednesday the 15th March, 2023.

All orders for the Scholastic Book Fair at Moama Anglican Grammar are placed through the loop at https://www.scholastic.com.au/LOOP   or through the LOOP app.

Once the orders arrive, we will dispense the orders to your child/children. 

We run the Scholastic Book Club once a term in Terms 1, 2 & 4. Did you know that every purchase you make through the Book Club  earns points towards resources for the school? Over the last few years we have used the rewards points by updating well loved books, building book series, and resources to support classroom learning. 

Premier's Reading Challenge

The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is upon us again.  If you want your child to participate in the challenge let us know:

If your child has participated in the past all you need to do is use the same login details.

If you can’t locate those login details let Ms Height know and she will reset the password for you.

If you child is new to the challenge, you can join them up by:

• Contacting me via mheight@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au. 
• Having your child let Ms Height know in their Library lesson. 
• Letting your child's teacher know via diary and they can pass it on to the Library Staff.

Once I have received the passwords I will send them to you and also have it placed into your child's diary.
