7/8 Readers’ Cup Competition

Last week our 7/8 team competed in the Bayside Region Readers’ Cup competition, held at Moreton Bay College.

There were 28 teams from all different schools in the region.  It is always an excellent day, where students can come together to share their love of reading in a competitive atmosphere.

All teams were required to read five novels and were asked 10 questions from each book.  Our teams had a wonderful experience and were able to meet local author Rebecca Timmis who was the Quizmaster for the competition.

Holiday Writing and Illustrating Camp

"Write Like an Author" and "Draw Like an Artist" are school holiday programs for young writers and illustrators.

They will be held during the school holidays, starting on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 and running until Thursday, July 10, 2025 at Sheldon College on Taylor Road, Sheldon.

Young writers will learn:

Plus they'll make new friends and have heaps of fun!
