Author Visit – Year 3 and Year 4

National Simultaneous Storytime

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 25th 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.

The Junior School will celebrate the event by joining together in Daphne Line Hall on Wednesday 21 May 2025 to read The Truck Cat. The library is running competitions next week in response to reading. One girl from each class will win a book prize. Winners will be announced at morning messages on Monday 26 May 2025.

Happy reading!
