Book of the Year Award Winners Announced

At the start of Book Week, the Children’s Book Council of Australia announced the winners of the Book of the Year competition in the various categories of Older Readers, Younger Readers, Early Childhood, Picture Books, Non-Fiction and the Crichton Award for Illustration. The winners are:

Costume Parade

Monday saw a huge array of Harry Potter’s, superheroes, fairy princesses and assorted book characters gather to celebrate Book Week. Many of the staff dressed up as the 101 Dalmatians. There were some very creative costumes on display, from both staff and students, and the photo booth at lunchtime was very popular. Well done to everyone who helped us celebrate the importance of books and stories in a child’s life.

Escape from the Mummy’s Tomb

Secondary students were not forgotten in our Book Week celebrations. The theme for Book Week was Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds. The Old Worlds inspired our Ancient Egyptian-themed activity.

Three escape rooms were set up in the library hubs and students had to work together to solve a series of puzzles to find the code that unlocked the treasure box.
