Book Week - Monday 22nd – Friday 26th August 

We celebrate Book Week on Tuesday 23rd with our dress-up parade. Students are encouraged to dream of their future self OR dream themselves into a story as inspiration for their costume. A physical book is not required for the parade and parents are welcome to attend. 

We will continue to enjoy the short-listed books and library-based activities and competitions to mark this memorable event which highlights the quality of children’s literature available in Australia.  

Remember to bring your entry for the colouring competition to the library next Monday!

Step into Stories 2022 

Year 5 and 6 classes enjoyed an online session with Mark Wilson, a creator of amazing picture books as part of the Step into Stories event. Students spent class time becoming familiar with Mark's work and during the session they heard first-hand how Mark goes about his writing and illustrating. Students followed Mark's direction to produce their own works of art! The session resulted in a broadening of student knowledge around book creation and inspiration for enthusiastic students to be writers and illustrators.  

This year, Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office and Queensland School Libraries Association contributed to the cost of this event and many schools across the Diocese took advantage of the online as well as face to face sessions.

If these books belong to your family, please collect them from the library
