Book Week 2019

Dear Parents/Carers,

Term 3 is always an exciting time in the school. Each year, schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators. Teachers and librarians conduct activities relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading.  

This year, Book Week will be held in Week 5 (19-23 August 2019) and the theme will be  “Reading is my Secret Power.”

A Book Week Parade will be held during this week (date and time to be advised) and students will be able spend this day dressed as their favourite book character.

Book Week Competitions will be run through the Library with some great prizes to be won.

Scholastic Book Fair 2019

In Week 5 during Book Week, we will also be running a Scholastic Book Fair. It’s a fun event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. There will be a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level and hope that families will support our students by visiting our Book fair. All purchases will benefit our school.  

During Week 4, students will have an opportunity to preview the Book Fair and will be able to make a “Wish List”of books.

Families will be able to prepay books in advance (instructions on the Wish List your child will bring home). Books can then be collected at the Fair in Week 5 by bringing the receipt on the Wish List with you. If there are not enough copies of a book, we will make a bulk re-order at the end of the Fair.

Stay tuned for the Fair dates and times.

Happy reading!

Mrs Georgina Jaram (Teacher/Librarian)
