Congratulations to the three classes to earn a Gold Star for borrowing last week: 3 Gold,     3 Blue and 5 Gold, well done!! Remember our Library days: 

• Monday – Year 2
• Tuesday – Year 6, Year 5
• Wednesday – Year 3, Year 1
• Thursday – Year 4, Kinder

Sometimes the lessons need to be changed, you will be notified of the change for that particular week, then it goes back to the regular day unless you are otherwise notified.

Premiers’ Reading Challenge: Congratulations to all the students who have registered for the challenge –  all students from Years 3 - 6 are automatically registered. If you remember your login from last year you can login and begin to register your books, your logins should not have changed. Any student from K - 2 who would like to take part, I just need a letter from parents please. You can begin to read your books, and keep a list either at home or at school. Logins for new students will be sent home in the next few weeks. The booklists are found at https://products.schools.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html.  You can search our Library catalogue to see all the available books on the list – go to oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev, and type ‘premier’ in the search box. You can then select the required level, either K - 2, 3 - 4, or 5 - 6.

Parent Helpers:  Thank you to the parents who have volunteered their time to help with shelving or covering. We will send home books for covering as soon as we have some available. Thank you.

Scholastic Book Club: The brochure went home this week for Issue 2, orders will close on Monday 18 March, which gives you plenty of time to browse the catalogue to find the reading bargains! (Remember all ordering is done online through LOOP – check the back of the brochure for details). The school receives reward points for all items sold, which enables us to buy more books for the Library, so we thank you for your support.

Daily Reading: Please remember how important it is to make time to read with your children for at least ten minutes a day.

"To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new friend. To read it for a second time is to meet an old one."

 Happy reading!
