Our annual BOOK FAIR will be happening again on Wednesday 15th August at 9:00am in the school library. So come along and purchase some books for your children and also help them select their P & C book gift for the end of year presentation night. The children are able to select a book to the value of $15.00 and if they choose a book over this price the parents can make up the difference. They MUST choose a book, not a novelty item. These books remain at the school until presentation night. The school receives a commission from purchases at the fair, so all sales help towards building up our library collection. Donations of books to the library from families are also gratefully accepted. So come along and have a look at the wonderful selection of books and join in the fun of the fair!!
