Our first book club of the year closes on Monday 20th February (next week). Orders are placed online via the Parents Loop Section on the Scholastic website. The process is:-
Parents will need to register here and will then be able to order and pay online. We do NOT collect orders or money at school. PLEASE ensure whoever is registering and ordering includes the name of the student uses at school.
You only need to choose your students Year Level as their class. i.e Year 1, Year 4 etc.
Once the Book Club ordering window closes all orders will be filled and sent to the school for distribution to the children.
Once again students will have the opportunity to complete the Premier's Reading Challenge.
The dates for 2023 are -
27 February 2023- challenge opens for student registration and entries
Friday 18 August 2023 - challenge closes for student entries
Students are asked to sign up in the library during the week and I will register them. Once registered they (or you) need to log in and complete their reading log.
Students who participated in the challenge are able to use their log in from last year. If you have lost your passowrd I can reset it for you.
