Read-a-thon

Our 2019 Read-a-thon has been a great success raising $7,170.82 (after costs) for our school playground. Thank you to everyone that contributed financially and supported the students in their efforts.

Students participated in reading and illustrating throughout the Read-a-thon and all students who returned their reading/illustrating log received a certificate and small prize for their involvement.

In the final week of our Read-a-thon students entered our colouring and illustrating competition. Congratulations to our winners:

This week they have received their major prize with visits from local illustrators Lillian Webb with 2 Gold and Gwynneth Jones with 1 Blue and ice cream vouchers to the Hood Milkbar.

A big thank you to MacLeans Booksellers for sponsoring prizes for the colouring/illustrating competition, the Hood Milkbar for providing us with a discount for ice cream vouchers and to our local illustrators Gwynneth Jones and Lillian Webb for spending their time with our winning classes, sharing their expertise and enjoyment of illustrating with the students.
