Book of the Week

This is “Tilly”, our second book Shortlisted for 2020.  It has been recognised under the category of Picture Book of the Year by the Children’s Book Council of Australia.

 Tilly’s found the perfect hiding place to keep her special treasures.

No-one knows about it, not even her big brothers and sister, who know everything.

But one day, something happens that Tilly could never have imagined…

Jane Godwin and Anna Walker created a wistful, enchanting and timeless story about an old house, and a little girl who lost her special things. It is a story about grief, lost, and the way we can hold on to and embody what is special to us long after it’s gone. It reminds us of how the small things we hold dear stay with us always.

Premier’s Reading Challenge Competition

Have you returned your completed PRC form yet? We are running an exciting competition in the library to encourage our students to continue with this year’s challenge. Everyone who returns their completed form by the end of this term will have their name placed in a jar. At the end of the term, one name will be drawn and the winner will receive a $25 gift voucher to use at a bookstore! If you have already returned a form, then your name will automatically be included.

REMEMBER!!! Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the organiser of the PRC have made changes to make it more accessible and flexible for students.  A FREE CHOICE approach now allows for any book to be included on the PRC form.
