Regional Readers' Cup Competition
A team of 8 enthusiastic Year 6 students are reading their way through 5 set novels in preparation for the Darling Downs Readers' Cup on the 15th June. This annual event brings readers together to share their knowledge and joy of stories across Term 2 and culminates in the team quiz.
Beautiful Bookmarks
We have been gifted beautifully crafted bookmarks by Andrea Nunn. Andrea has used off cuts from book covering contact and her creative skill to produce these bookmarks. Our students can earn one of these unique bookmarks when they take on the notables reading challenge.
Thank you Andrea for your generous gift.
Happy reading across Term 2 everyone!
