Australian Reading Hour - Monday 3 March

To promote reading for pleasure and the fostering of good reading habits, next Monday 3 March, all students and staff at Pittwater House will spend one hour reading. Ten minutes of each lesson will allow us to achieve this. Students are asked to bring a book of their own choosing to school with them, and they will take this to each lesson.

Please remind your child/ren to bring a book to school with them. For the youngest members of our community, the teachers will read to them to allow them to still celebrate the power of a good story. Any student who forgets to bring their book on the day will be able to borrow from the Library.
