Other News

The Shaun Tan Award has now closed. I hope all students the best of luck, and well done for entering.

National Simultaneous Story Time was a great success and all classes during the week enjoyed the story about the cow that tripped over the moon. Thanks to all the teachers and students who participated and enjoyed the story.

Please provide your students with library bags.  It can be a shopping bag, old handbag, even a pillow slip. During the winter months it provided protection from the weather, it helps protect the books from user to user and provides a home for the book from week to week.
