May was a wonderful month for reading and literature at Kilvington, with students, staff and parents taking part in the Kilvington Reads festival.
Students from Prep – Year 10 enjoyed visits from authors and illustrators as well as story time with Senior Leaders.
They participated in a daily quotes competition, dressed up for Junior School book parade and entered the bookmark design competition with artistic endeavour.
Our bookmark design competition brought out everyone’s creative skills, and our English Leaders, Sophia Zikic and Aidan McShane, were really tested in having to choose an ultimate winner!
Our award winners and honourable mentions were presented with certificates at Assembly, and the winners also received a book voucher from our local supplier.
Congratulations to all our competition participants, and a special congratulations to Sarah Yeo from Year 7, the overall winner of our bookmark design competition.
The winning bookmarks are being printed and will be available in Term 3 to the School community.
Looking ahead, Book Week 2017 will be low key, but a number of activities are being planned. We have purchased the CBCA Early Childhood Picture Book of the Year award nominees for the Library collection, and a small competition for Junior classes and Tutor Groups is planned for August. This selection of shortlisted titles will be available for classes to read and share.
A display to inspire conversation and discussion will appear next term in the McKie Library.
The Kilvington Reads festival is now a part of Kilvington culture and bookends Terms 2 and 3, with the upcoming Kilvington Writer’s Festival (hosted by the English Faculty) forming the other bookend of literature, writing and reading in Term 3.
Thank you to the library team - Mr Jordan Adams, Mrs Vanessa Grosso and all teachers, students and parents for your enthusiasm.
