It has been a busy and exciting time in the library, with students enjoying Luna Roo, the Kangaroo Baller<\/em> as the text for this year\u2019s National Simultaneous Storytime which ties into the growing excitement around the 2026 Soccer (Football) World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classes joined thousands of children across Australia to share in National Simultaneous Storytime, celebrating the joy of reading together. It was wonderful to see students so engaged in a shared story experience. We then built on this with the lively book Hat-Trick Harri<\/em>, the Cheetah World Beater<\/em> which tied in perfectly with the students\u2019 enthusiasm for soccer as they follow the hype in the count down till kick-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much interest in teams and players, Hat-Trick Harri,<\/em> the Cheetah World Beater<\/em> gave us a great opportunity to talk about what it really means to be part of a team. Students explored the idea of leadership, especially the role of a captain, and discussed the qualities that make a good leader, such as encouraging others, being fair, and leading by example. We also talked about being a good team player\u2014working together, supporting classmates, and showing resilience even when things don\u2019t go to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been fantastic to hear students share their thoughts, with many recognising that leadership is not just about being the best player, but about helping others and contributing positively to the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to continuing these conversations and encouraging students to apply these skills in the classroom and on the playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
