Book Week Events Symphony of Stories
This week we celebrated Book Week by dressing up as our favourite book character. Photos will be shared on our social media platforms.
A big thank you to Samantha Anderson, the Booralee team, all the generous families who donated books and our parent helpers for setting up the Book Swap. Our girls were very excited to choose a book! Proceeds go to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
We were very excited to welcome authors Kate and Jol Temple to our Junior School.
Books are still available to be purchased through Larrikin House.
