To make sure more families can start a conversation with their children about online safety, the information comes in multiple languages - English, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tamil and Dari.

BOOK WEEK CELEBRATIONS

On Friday, 19 August, we held our Book Week Character Parade in the morning. It was a wonderful school community event. The students all looked amazing and dressed up with the consideration of this year’s Book Week Theme- Dreaming with eyes open… Their teachers also did a fabulous job and got into dress-up mode as well.

It is truly a wonderful week to highlight quality texts and the importance of reading.

During the day, classes also read shortlisted picture books throughout the day. Below is a list of read aloud clips of some of the shortlisted books:
