Over 50 students participated in a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to celebrate their role in Book Week. The event was a great success!
Students kicked off the celebrations by decorating a display board, setting a festive and welcoming tone. During the tea party, they took part in a variety of literary-themed activities, including a book scavenger hunt and book bingo. They also had the chance to “locate a book” and chat with teachers about their favourite reads.
The party itself featured a delicious spread of food, including fairy bread, “mad hatter’s biscuits,” watermelon, hummus and crackers, chocolate frogs, and chips. It was great to hear that students displayed excellent manners while enjoying the recess party.
Year 7 Poet Incursion with Solli Raphael
Year 7s recently enjoyed listening to 20-Year Old Solli Raphael share his career journey as a published author and performing poet. Students listened to Solli recite poetry and actively engaged in a question and answer session. We look forward to our next author, Lilli Wilkinson coming to work with Year 8s at the end of October.
Our next library celebration will acknowledge the library volunteers, the Premiers Reading Challenge Certificate recipients and regular Homework Club members. The library is always looking for students who would like to commit to learning new skills and joining the roster of students wanting to engage in community service through a range of activities that suit different students including the Circulation Desk duties, displays, shelving and other duties.
Are you aware students may borrow printed and e books? We are launching an audio book collection shortly. Students also have access to encyclopaedias to support research from reliable and valid sites.
