Resource Centre
As we head into our mid year break, the Resource Centre Team have been working very hard. We have been planning and preparing for events including our Book Fair on the 26th and 27th of July, which will run alongside the Primary Parent/Teacher Interviews. We are also preparing for Book Week which is celebrated the week beginning 19 August. The theme of the Character Parade to be held during Book Week is 'Read, Grow & Inspire.'
During the Primary classes Library lessons they will be exploring the books that have been shortlisted.
Premier's Reading Challenge
The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more, and to read more widely. The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is open to all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 10.
For your information:
You must read a certain number of books to complete the Challenge. Please refer to the Booklist page for more information: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html
