AUGUST 2024 NEWSLETTER
At GSC library we love to promote books from our diverse collection. At present we have books that include fiction and non-fiction stories set in other countries, stories of refugees who have sought shelter in other countries and the stories of First Nations writers.
In the spirit of the Olympics, there’s a gold medal read for every student, whether they love soccer, gymnastics, or rugby! Check out the Olympics 2024 Reading List.“How much do you know about the Olympics?” Students can take the official quiz to test their knowledge!
We marked NAIDOC Week in the library with books on display written by First Nations writers. Here’s a link to the Indigenous Titles Reading List found in our collection.
A celebration of Book Week will occur later in the term, including the announcement of the award-winning books and an author visit to our school. The theme for this year is Reading is Magic. The Children’s Book Council of Australia has explained the theme in the following words:
“With our 2024 Children’s Book Week theme, Reading is Magic, we’re celebrating reading stories and their amazing power to transport minds. We are encouraging kids to be curious about the wonders in our world.”
Here’s a link to the CBCA 2024 Reading List we have on offer and also other books in our collection that match the theme of this year: “Reading is Magic”.
