Library News

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops, and many other places around the country. Now in its 24th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6. This year’s book was Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker.

On Wednesday this week, PLC students across Kindy and the Junior College joined in a reading of this book and explored some of its themes. In the library, Mr Griffin, did up an interactive display and at lunchtime, for our craft activity, students could make their own bower bird.
