Book Week

St Mary’s will be celebrating Book Week in Week 5, from August 19th to 23rd. This year's theme is "Reading is Magic." Throughout the week, children will participate in various learning activities to celebrate. Webinars featuring well-known authors and illustrators are planned for all classes.

** Please note, we are not holding a parade or dress-up this year **

Families will receive an Emoji Quiz to solve, based on the 2024 Children’s Book Council Short List.

A Scholastic Book Fair in the library will be available from Tuesday, August 20th to Thursday, August 22nd, offering a wide range of affordable books. You and your child can explore the selection, and the school will receive a commission from all sales, benefiting our library resources. Eftpos facilities will be available.

In keeping with the theme, on Wednesday, August 21st, all classes will read "Possum Magic" and complete age-appropriate tasks. There will also be a special recess themed around the book.
