What’s Happening in the Library?

Book Club
Order forms were issued to students in Years K-6 this week. Please ensure all orders are placed online by Monday 6^th March.

Voices on the Coast 23^rd and 24^th February 2023
The Library staff escorted 31 excited students from both primary and secondary to Voices on the Coast Literature Festival at The University of the Sunshine Coast. Each student participated in four sessions, drawing from the wisdom of famous authors and illustrators. It was evident that the enthusiasm of each presenter was contagious and caused some students to write up a very long list of books to read, promoted within the sessions. During breaks, bookselling and author signing was a bustling affair. Students had a busy day filled with dreams, hopes and possibilities. Stay tuned for dates for next year.
