Book Week Celebrations
What a lot of fun the Book Week dress-up day brings! Thank you to the parents and families who organised costumes and to the students for entering the spirit of adventuring through their characters this year. Enjoy the photos being shared on Facebook thanks to Mrs Nicholls.
Students have been treated to real life adventures experienced by some of our staff this week. Thanks to Mrs Nilon, Mrs La Caze, Mrs Harkins and Mr Logan for sharing your amazing travel, diving, safari and climbing adventures!
Our Treasure Hunts in the library are continuing. Special thanks go to our Year 5 helpers and the Year 6 library team who planned the clues and props to make this activity a fun way to celebrate Book Week this year when we aimed to set out for some adventures.
Our Year 3 students have been the most successful to date!
Gregg Dreise’s Visit
First Nations author, illustrator, musician and performer, Gregg Dreise held our students’ attention with his storytelling. Gregg shared some wise insights to make the world a better place for each of us and for future children.
Budding Authors
Ivy and Kaiya wrote their own story, The Two Grannies and dressed accordingly for the Book Week parade. I'm looking forward to reading your next work girls!

I am starting some Long Service Leave in Week 8 so this is the last Library News update for the term. Thank you for all you do to support free choice reading in your homes. You can’t underestimate the value of reading with your child or enabling reading time to their literacy development.
Happy reading everyone
