We are getting closer to Book Week, that exciting time each year when we celebrate stories, characters, and the joy of reading!

During Book Week, we organise a Book Fair, which is where we display new and interesting books that the children can purchase. The purpose of the Book Fair is to make reading fun, giving our students the opportunity to find and choose the books they most want to read. When children choose their own books, they are more motivated to finish reading the book and this, of course, supports their knowledge, imagination and reading skills.

Normally Mrs Cowley and Mrs Blyde would encourage and welcome parents to attend the Book Fair with their child and buy books for their own collection at home. However, COVID-19 restrictions mean that we are unable to host parents at the Book Fair this year. But you can still support your child AND the Library! Ask to see the ‘Wish List’ that we will be giving to your child when they come to the Library next week. You can send money with your child or purchase directly from Scholastic online.

1. Click on the online payment portal https://parentpayments.scholastic.com.au/BookFairs (as per wish List)
2. Enter State and School
3. Enter credit card details and amount
4. Highlight the titles you have paid for.
5. Record receipt number on the Wish List or print receipt
6. Bring Wish List back to the school to collect books

When you purchase books for your child, you are supporting the purchase of new books for our Library Collection. Thank you for your past support of our Book Fair and we hope that you can continue to support us this year.

Have a great week!
