Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are. Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:

• Set the example. Let children see you read.
• Have a collection of books in your home. Update this collection routinely to keep up with changing tastes and reading skills.
• Support our school’s Book Fair. 

The theme of our Scholastic Book Fair is Arctic Adventure, where we hope you will find snow much to read! It’s a fun reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school, with a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level.

There will also be a great selection of posters and stationery available for purchase. 

Book Fair dates:     10-21 August 2020 (students only)

Shopping hours:       Monday – Wednesday: 830 – 8.50am, lunch time and 3.00-3.20

                                     Thursday/Friday: Lunch time only.

Students have visited the Fair this week and you will see their Wish Lists coming home. 

Online payments can now be made and the Wish Lists will have a receipt on the back that needs to be brought back to the Library or the front office. The students will then be given their books from the fair (or we will reorder if not enough stock). 

We recommend taking a picture of your receipt in the event it gets lost in transit. You may wish to email the receipt to the library at vanessa.hallaj@cg.catholic.edu.au or alternatively, students can bring in Cash during weeks 4 and 5.

Thank you for supporting reading in our school.
