Scholastic Book Club
Orders for Issue #7 of the Book Club were distributed earlier this week, along with the Issue #8 magazines—the final issue for the year. I’d like to apologise for the delays in the delivery of the last two orders. I contacted Scholastic regarding this issue and they explained that the delays were due to a change in their courier company. However, they have assured me that they will be returning to their original courier in the new year, which should result in more timely deliveries moving forward.
For Issue #8, if you’re purchasing early Christmas presents for your children, please remember to mark these orders as a ‘Gift.’ I will then contact you directly to arrange a convenient way for you to collect or receive the items.
Thank you for your continued support.
Scholastic Book Fair
Thank you to everyone who supported our Book Fair this year—your contributions are truly appreciated! Thanks to your purchases, we earned just over $700 in commission to spend on books and resources through Scholastic.
This year, instead of allocating the funds solely for library books (as we’ve been fortunate to add many new titles over the past two years), we’ve decided to provide each grade with $100 for teachers to purchase resources for their classrooms. This ensures that your support directly benefits your children and enhances their learning experience.
Thank you once again for your generosity and continued support!
Premier’s Reading Challenge
The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge concluded in August and we are proud to announce that 130 of our students successfully completed the challenge.
Across NSW, 431,383 students participated in the PRC this year, with a record-breaking 323,328 students completing the challenge. Together, students read an incredible total of 9,115,211 books, with this year’s most-read title being Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker.
Congratulations to the following St Columbkille's students who completed this wonderful reading milestone!
