Thank you for remembering your Library Bags on lesson days, we cannot borrow without a bag to protect the books as we carry them to and from school.
Remember that holidays are the best time for the children to keep reading. All those lovely books at home on the shelves, books for Christmas, and don’t forget the local library – if you are you not already members of the Campbelltown Library, it is free to join - just call in to the Eagle Vale Leisure Centre and ask there.
PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE
Congratulations to all the students who will receive their completion certificates next week. Special congratulations to the students who will receive a Gold Award for completing four years in a row, and some who will receive a Platinum Award for seven continuous years – fantastic commitment to their reading. Keep it up!
CHESS TOURNAMENT
Congratulations to our 2022 Chess Tournament champions - our Senior Champion is Caleb L from Year 6, the Runner-up is Elijah K from Year 5. Our Junior Champion is Nate G with Ceazar F the Runner-up, both in Year 3. Our Year Three finalists played three matches before the winner could be decided. It is inspiring to see them so focused on the challenge that a Chess match can present.
Have a good Christmas break, and as the end of year draws nearer, and our lives become even busier, try to remember how important it is to take at least ten minutes a day to read with your children – they learn from you the importance of reading in their lives.
"I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers. To become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn't be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage."

Happy reading!
