Scholastic Book Fair

The trolleys of books have arrived along with the boxes of posters, pencils and other fun items. Due to NAPLAN this week we postponed the preview of the book fair until next week. The book fair will now run from Monday 15 May until Friday 26 May. Students can make their wish lists during their class library times next week. Purchases can be made between 8:30-9:00am and 3:00-4:00pm using cash or credit cards.

 The "Read aloud more in May" colouring competition began last week and some students have already dropped off their entries. Students have until the end of May to complete their entry. This competition has also been extended to years 9-10. Collect an entry form from the Inspire centre and be creative. There are prizes in the following year groups. P-2, 3-6, 7-8 and 9-10.
