We are very excited to invite Year 8 families to take part in our inaugural OpenBook reading initiative.  OpenBook \u2013 What will we discover?\u2026<\/em> is a buddy reading program for Year 8 families to promote reading and conversation.  Interested families are invited to sign up and choose a book from a robust selection centred around three key themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Stories of finding courage<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  2. Stories of growing up and finding your identity<\/em><\/strong><\/li>
  3. Stories of hope, resilience and joy<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To enjoy during the Winter Term holiday break, your book (two copies) will be sent home in a complimentary book bag, with discussion points to promote conversation and observation.  It\u2019s a chance to have a shared experience with your child; one that encourages connections and a great sense of belonging. Think of it as a family book club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We have a selection of novels for all types of readers: avid, reluctant, discerning.   Remember, that sometimes it only takes twenty minutes a day of reading to see a difference in the way your child engages with the world. What a better way for them to experience that than with you part of that journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Term 3 resumes, students will be asked to return the novels and discussion cards, however, the bookbag remains with you as a small gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please watch out for the letter and Google form that will be sent out next week for those interested to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please feel free to contact us here in the library if you have questions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We hope you enjoy reading and discussing these great books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
