Book Week

We celebrated Book Week from Monday 22 to Friday 26 August. 

The theme for this year's Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week was 'Dreaming with Eyes Open'. 

The beautiful artwork for this year's Book Week was created by Jasmine Seymour, a Darug woman and a descendant of Maria Lock, daughter of Yarramundi, the Boorooberongal elder who met Governor Phillip on the banks of the Hawkesbury in 1791. 

The CBCA Book of the Year and winners of each category were announced on Friday 19 August. Click the buttons below to see the winners and short listed books in all categories: 

The books on this year's short list have arrived and will be available soon to borrow from our Library.

Our Dress Up Day and Parade was held on Thursday 25 August, and how wonderful were your outfits! We were able to share in your efforts with a parade in the gymnasium in the Stadium, and it was great to see so many parents and guardians there too. 

Competitions for Prep to Year 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6 are being run until Friday 9 September with the help of our Library Captains. Entries will be displayed on the Library windows facing The Heights.
