New Books

We have a selection of new books available for students to borrow.  Many of these books have been requested by students who are keen to read the newest title in a book series they have been enjoying.  These books were all purchased using rewards earned from Scholastic book club at the end of 2023.  Every purchase from book club and book fair earns Scholastic rewards which are allocated to the school library to purchase new reading books for our students.

A reminder that students will need a library bag to borrow books from the library.  Using library bags protects books when transporting them to and from school and helps to extend the life of the book.  Students who are in need of a Library bag can come to the Library to can make their own bag during lunch break in the maker space. 

Books can be exchanged at first break and second break each day; students do not have to wait until their class borrowing day to exchange books. 

World Read Aloud Day

A big thank you to the students who brought along photos of themselves reading aloud to a friend or family member.  We have loved sharing your contributions in our display.  We hope everyone makes some time to read aloud to someone special this week.

Maker Space

The students have been very busy in the maker space this year.  We have seen many amazing inventions created as well as fabulous art works which students have taken home to share with their families.

We would like to ask for some household recyclables to be donated for students to use in the maker space, in particular we are asking for cardboard boxes (e.g. cereal boxes, muesli bar boxes etc). Please do not send egg cartons along, we have a large supply at school already as we must use new cartons due to possible contamination risks for students with an egg allergy.

Thank you.

Book Club

Brochures for Term 1 Book Club have been distributed to students and can also be viewed online.   In this issue you'll find award-winning books and bestsellers, as well as old and new favourites.  The books included in this issue span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests with prices starting at just $3.  

It is easy to order. The Book Club LOOP platform for parents allows you to pay by credit card. Your child’s order is submitted directly to school and the books will be delivered to their class. You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/loop or by using the LOOP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.  Alternatively, order forms with payment can be handed in at the school office.  All orders placed through Book Club help to earn free reading books for the school library.

Orders are due this Friday the 9th of February.
