Cobram AGS Noticeboard 

Book Week

To coincide with Australian Children’s Book Council (ACBC) Awards 2019 our students will once again be celebrating Book Week from 19th to 25th August.  The theme this year is “Reading is my Secret Power”

 

Through the week, we will be having special activities associated with the shortlisted books.  A ‘New Books’ display will be set up in the Library for students to borrow from all week and on Thursday 22nd August at 9am will be the Book Parade, all students dress as a character from any storybook.  Each student should be able to state the name of their character and perhaps a comment about their character.  The school staff will also be part of the parade and we no doubt see some creative and amusing outfits.

 

Come and join us at 9am on Thursday 22nd August for the Book Parade. This is a fun and much anticipated event.  New books on display in the Library all week
