National Simultaneous Story Time -Next Week! Next week, on Wednesday, 24th May at 11 am, it is the National Simultaneous Storytime.  National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 23rd successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
This year's featured book is ‘The Speedy Sloth’ by Rebecca Young. We have registered both campuses to be involved. Check out the website HERE for further information.
