             CONGRATULATIONS to all the students who are the

                   READERS OF THE MONTH for MARCH. You are all outstanding!  

Next term, we are all looking forward to the annual  National Simultaneous Storytime event.  

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 21st 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.

By facilitating NSS we aim 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 libraries and communities around the country,

More information regarding this special event will be detailed in the lead up to the event next term.

Thank you for always supporting your children to have a love of reading and continue to become amazing readers.

 Have a wonderful holiday break.

Susan Gleeson and Sarah Cuskelly.
