Bookweek

Each year since 1945 the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. St Aidan’s students and staff love spending this week celebrating books and Australian children’s authors and illustrators. Our libraries were awash with colourful displays and our teachers and librarians developed activities, ran competitions and told stories relating to the theme: Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds. The free dress day is always an exciting and important day with fundraising for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. This year we were able to donate $702 thanks to the generous support of our school community.
