Getting Ready for End of Year 2022

The Christmas School Holidays are not far away now, but before they arrive there are some important tasks to get done. In the library we are preparing for our annual end of year stocktake!

All library books are due back on or before next Monday, 5th December. You can help by returning all your library books to the library "As Soon As Possible" and by next Monday please.

Will your class will be first to return all their library books this year? If you have any other school books, such as journals, junior reading books and class books lying around at home then now is a good time to return these to school too.
