First of all, we just wanted to clarify the dates for Book Fair and Book Week. There seems to be some confusion amongst the students between these two different Library activities. 

Book Fair - Week 3 - this is the display of books, stationary, posters and other book accessories from which the students and their families can purchase. We have this set up in the Workspace off the Library and during Library lessons this week, all classes have been walking through the display and completing their Wish Lists. They will be able to buy next week. The Book Fair will be open at the following times for families:

Monday 8:20-8:45 and 3:05-3:30

Tuesday 3:05-3:30

Wednesday 8:20-8:45 and 3:05-3:30

Thursday 8:20-8:45 and 3:05-3:30

Friday 8:20-8:45 and 3:05-3:30

All families will have to check in at the Front Office before coming to the Library and due to COVID restrictions, we will have to stagger the entry into the Display to minimise numbers. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience. 

Students will also have the opportunity to purchase from the display during recess on Tuesday. They will be only able to purchase using cash. Cards are welcome when adults come to the Book Fair, but students will not be allowed to purchase using their parents’ cards, so please do not give them to them. If you’d rather not use cash, there is also the option to purchase online using the following link:

Book Week - Week 7 - Book Week is when students will have the opportunity to dress up as a character from a book. The theme for this year’s Book Week is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds.” This will be taking place in week 7 this term. It is not the same time as Book Fair, and it is not the same thing as Book Fair. Some character suggestions include:

Old Worlds - fiction books set in the past, historical non-fiction books, prehistoric people or animals, ancient cultures, Aboriginal people.

New Worlds - any character from the modern world, future characters.

Other Worlds - anything mystical and magical, things from space (Star Wars), witches, monsters, unicorns. 

Happy Reading,
