Happy Reading
Well, just as well we had our Book Week displays up early!
The theme is: Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds
Students and staff have enjoyed the challenge of remembering or discovering these worlds in reading of novels, non-fiction and fantasy.
We got to enjoy several worlds in the Library including a very comfy Arabian Reading Oasis.

Unfortunately our Book Parade on Friday has been cancelled but we can still dress up and share our love of books and reading vicariously via social media.
The Winners and Honour Books were announced last week by the Children’s Book Council of Australia.
These books are all in our Library and ready to be borrowed. Just email Miss MacKay and they can be picked up.
