BOOK WEEK and BOOK FAIR

Coming soon! In Week 4 Term 3, the school will host a Book Week dress up opportunity where children are encouraged to come to school in character, or something relating to the theme. This year's theme is 'Read, Grow, Inspire’. Please don't feel the need to purchase costumes. There are lots of ideas online and part of the fun is involving children in the creative process.

During this time, the library will also host a Book Fair where students can purchase books and other novelties. More information will be available early next term.

Please encourage your children to read over the holidays. All families have 24/7 access to online stories at school and at home. Kids of all ages can use the safe and trusted Story Box Library platform independently.

PREMIER’S READING CHALLENGE

The Premier’s Reading Challenge is still on! All students are encouraged to participate. The Challenge runs to 18 August 2023. Students in Years 3-6 need to read 20 books (10 books from their Challenge list and 10 free choice books) and record them onto their Reading Logs. All children that have completed the Challenge will receive a certificate from the Premier of NSW.

Kinder to Year 2 students will have 30 books read to them by their teachers and will automatically receive a smaller Premier’s Reading Challenge certificate. However, it is strongly encouraged that independent readers from Year 2 try to complete the Challenge themselves by reading 20 books from their Challenge list and 10 free choice books.

For a full list of what books are in the Challenge, go to the Premier’s Reading Challenge website at: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html

For a list of Challenge books in our school library, access your child’s student portal at: https://education.nsw.gov.au/ and navigate to Oliver Library. Students will need to know their usernames and passwords to access the library page.
