The Premier’s Reading Challenge will finish on Friday 30th August, so we are well over half way through!  A number of students have already been to see me to let me know they have completed the challenge.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me if your child’s details have been misplaced or if you're having trouble entering their books into the system.  Kindergarten students complete the challenge with their classroom teacher through the books that are read to them on a daily basis.

Don’t forget that we will be holding our Book Fair from Monday 19th- Thursday 22nd August.  The Learning Centre will be open each of those days from 8:30-9am, 1:15-1:45pm and 3:10-3:30pm.  We received 34 boxes of goodies this year with a fantastic selection for all age ranges!  Prices range from around $4-$25 with quite a number being around $10-$15. There will also be posters, erasers, pencils, pens etc for sale.  Books can be paid for by cash, cheques payable to St Philomena’s school or EFTPOS machine.  We look forward to seeing you there!

 A Scholastic Book Fair provides:

·        The best range, hand selected from over 60 publishers worldwide

·         Affordable books to suit every reading level and interest

·         An opportunity for children to see, touch and connect with books they want to read

·         An exciting event that engages children and promotes literacy

·         Generous commissions — every book sold at the Fair earns free books for your school

·         You are also able to donate books to the school if you would like.

A reminder that our annual Book Week Parade will be held on Wednesday 21st August (Week 5) at 9:15am in the hall. Family and friends are very welcome to attend the Book Week Parade.  Click on the link for some suggestions:
