In a final Book Week event, a group of Pymble students from Years 7 and 10 attended the CBCA Youth Forum at Loreto Kirribilli on Tuesday 2 September. CBCA stands for Children’s Book Council of Australia and we met with other Secondary students to discuss the shortlisted books and the winning novel in the Older Readers category. There was a panel of students from schools including Barker College, Ravenswood, St Joseph’s College, St Aloysius, PLC (us!) and our host school, Loreto Kirribilli. The discussion was chaired by the President of the NSW branch of the CBCA, Mr Paul Macdonald. It was amazing to hear everyone’s different opinions and ask questions. It was really fun talking about books with other book-loving people. And at the end, after some fun cakes and fruit, we got to see their library! All in all, it was a great morning.
