CBCA Book Week 2021

Each year, since 1945, the CBCA has brought students and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. The IMC Library Team was certainly not about to let lockdown stop this great tradition! So we put on our thinking caps and created a fun, interactive experience that all students could engage with and enjoy online. Through a dedicated MMCC Book Week Google site, students were given the opportunity to explore the wide range of CBCA shortlisted books as well as participate in a range of book related competitions with prizes of Dymock’s Book Vouchers on offer.

It was wonderful to see so many students participating throughout the week and we would like to thank each and every one of you for helping to make our lockdown Book Week a success. We look forward to your continued support of Book Week next year!

We are excited to announce the winners of our Book Week 2021 competitions. Congratulations to the following students who have each won a $25 Dymocks Gift Voucher for their entries:

“My son, this is what you must fulfil when I move on. You must take on my serious responsibility and lead all the worlds,” said the tearful father, knowing that his son couldn’t understand the deep words. He took his priceless hat and placed it on his toddlers head, while the toddler waddled like a penguin. He pointed to all of the things his son now had control of; the planes, plants, flags, statues and countless more. The people ensured each and every word that the son stumbled on would be remembered, he now has the world in his hands…
