TERM 3 LIBRARY HIGHLIGHTS
Term 3 is shaping up to be a vibrant and exciting time in the library! Here's a snapshot of what’s happening so you can keep it on your radar:
WEEK 2- 5: TRAVEL THE WORLD
Explore stories from around the globe! Our curated display features books from different countries, ready for students to borrow and enjoy.
WEEKS 2-9: CARMEL READING CHALLENGE
Promoting literacy through this PC-led initiative, PC teachers are encouraged to bring their classes to the library to borrow, read, and relax.
House points are up for grabs, and the PC with the highest number of borrowed books will be announced at the end of term (and earn a prize)!
WEEK 6: BOOK WEEK!
Celebrate the joy of reading with daily activities:
- Monday: Book Toss – Aim for the cup and win a prize!
- Tuesday: Silhouette Challenge – Guess the book from its shadow.
- Wednesday: Word Search & Crossword – Test your Book Week vocab.
- Thursday: Badge Design – Create your own Book Week badge.
- Friday: Book in a Jar – Can you guess the title hidden inside?
Showbags will be awarded to the first five students who complete each day’s activity.
Book Week Passports will be available from Week 5. Collect stamps for each activity and go into the draw for our Book Week prize!
TUESDAY 19 AUGUST: WRITE A BOOK IN A DAY

WEEK 10: DRESS-UP DAY & ASSEMBLY
On Thursday 19 September, we celebrate the end of Term 3 with our annual Dress-Up Day—now in its eighth year!
Students are encouraged to dress as their favourite book character, but any costume is welcome. Whether simple or elaborate, it’s all about having fun and embracing the spirit of the day.
More details will be shared closer to the event.
