National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS)
Today all Primary students will join schools, preschools, libraries and bookshops all around the country to take part in the National Simultaneous Storytime . A special guest will visit each Primary class at 11:00 am to read Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas. A picture book written and illustrated by Australian author Lucinda Gifford. Some of the aims of NSS are to:-
- promote the value of reading and literacy,
- promote the value and fun of books,
- promote an Australian writer and publisher,
- promote storytime activities in public libraries and communities around the country,
- and provide opportunities to involve parents, grandparents, the media and others to participate in and enjoy the occasion.

This year’s theme for National Reconciliation Week 2020 is ‘In This Together’.
Students at TCC will be recognising Reconciliation Week during their Koori Culture lessons with Uncle Mick. Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Kiss and Drop Update
In an effort to make Kiss and Drop as effective as possible, we have issued families who regularly collect their children from Kiss and Drop in the afternoon a green name label. This assists staff to have students ready as quickly as possible. Thank you for assisting us by clearly displaying these on your dash board. If you regularly use Kiss and Drop in the afternoon and haven't received a label please phone the College office.
