Librarians Kylie Rose and Elizabeth Robinson were special guests at the event on Friday August 24, and to the audience’s delight, Elizabeth read them a story.
‘Students who read succeed’ is on a banner in the school hall, and the pupils took part in the event very enthusiastically.
Book Week began way back in 1946, when the Children’s Book Council of Australia celebrated it, as a means of bringing words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of Australian children, to enrich the nation, and nurture a literate, educated and creative society.
Today, CBCA Book Week continues right across the nation, celebrating the wonderful quality of books published by Australian authors and illustrators.
