Book an Adventure! Book Week 2025

This year the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s Book Week Theme is Book an Adventure!  I would like to alert all Rosary families that this year’s Book Week falls in Week Five of this term (18th-22nd August). Book Week is an annual celebration that is the highlight for all students! Each week next term, there will be an intensive literature study on one of the Children's Book Council of Australia shortlisted picture books. By the end of this term, students will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite and find out what the Australian judges have voted as theirs – an interesting discussion in itself! As part of Book week celebrations, I will be asking the students to come dressed as a book character ensuring that they have the book the character relates to with them on the day. I am happy to assist with any book choices. The children will be asked to come to school in their costumes on Friday 22nd August. Please be mindful of the suitability of props e.g. swords.

Our annual Book Fair will be held in the library from the afternoon of the August 18th – 22nd inclusive. There will be a large selection of books to purchase for your children with a percentage of sales being returned to the library in books and resources.

Chess Club- Chess Club has re-commenced for this term and runs every Tuesday weeks 1-9 from 3.10-4.30pm operating in the same capacity as previous terms. We are fortunate enough to have a small number of spots available for keen chess players.
