Book Week 

What a wonderful Book Week parade we had on Friday the 15^th August! Congratulations to all students and staff for your creativity and effort—everyone looked absolutely fantastic. It was inspiring to see such colourful costumes and to feel the excitement and pride as we celebrated our love of reading together. A big thank you to everyone who joined in to make this year’s Book Week assembly such a memorable event.

Throughout the week, students also enjoyed coming to the Learning and Innovation Centre, where they had the chance to read with different teachers, play exciting games, and explore their creativity through fun activities. The smiles and laughter showed just how much they enjoyed the celebrations, making Book Week a truly special experience for everyone.

Borrowing News

Your child has weekly borrowing time at the L&IC. (Please see timetable below. Their classroom teacher will bring them each week to borrow but they MUST have a library bag. If they have missed borrowing time, then they can come down at second break with their library bag and books to return and reborrow. If they have not finished reading a book bring it back on their borrowing day to reborrow rather than letting it be overdue.
