We are celebrating the love of stories again this year! The students have been voting for their favourite books from the shortlisted collection that was selected by the CBCA (Children’s Book Council of Australia).

The theme for this year is ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’. 

During this term, students in years Rec – 3 will enjoy a Book Week performance at school. All students will also have the opportunity to ‘virtually’ listen to different authors talk about their books and the process of writing stories.

Students and staff will be dressing up as their favourite character on Friday 27^th August. At this stage,the parade will be live-streamed, and a link will be sent out for you to enjoy too. Hopefully everyone is thinking about the costumes that they will wear! 

This year, we will again join in with some Mitcham Library fun. Some classes have chosen to participate in creating a piece of artwork celebrating Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds. Mitcham Library have kindly given us large canvases to create each classes’ masterpieces on. All of the creations will be displayed at school during Book Week, before being exhibited down at the Mitcham Library. I can’t wait to see what each class create!
