CBCA Children's Book Week 2024: Reading is Magic!
Daily Storytime, Book Swap and a Book Week Parade
A huge tree has popped up in the Lumen Library! Maybe the Lorax is nearby, ready to remind us of the magic of books!
All of Week 5 this term, primary students will be celebrating CBCA Children's Book Week. The theme for Book Week 2024 is "Reading is Magic". Book Week celebrates literacy and a love of reading, books and book characters. It is a week that students come together and enjoy sharing their favourite books and characters with their peers and wider college community. We also celebrate the CBCA award shortlist, and read the celebrated books in class.
This year Book Week will culminate on Friday 23 August at 9:15am in the Lumen Christi Catholic College Hall with a Character Parade. Parents and Carers are welcome to come and watch the parade. Students from each class will introduce their character and the book that it comes from (which they do not have to bring) and parade their characters past the audience. Book prizes will be awarded in each year level. We are looking forward to another fantastic Book Week and seeing all of the wonderful characters that students portray on the day.
Book Week in the Library will run from Monday to Friday and will include daily story time at recess and games during lunch time. A Book Swap will also be happening in the Lightwell (Library) from Monday to Thursday of Book Week during recess only. Up until Friday, students are encouraged to bring in 3 books (or more!) to donate to the Book Swap, raising money for SJA. They will receive 1 ticket to exchange for 1 free book during the Book Swap. Students are also able to purchase books from the Book Swap for $1 each.
Please note: Only donations of Picture Books, Junior Fiction and Young Adult novels will be accepted.
Please see the attached flyer for our Catholic faith handbook.
Please see the below flyers regarding upcoming virtual information session for students with a disability. Students, parents, carers and education professionals are invited to attend to discuss building skills and paving a pathway to post-school life. A range of NDIS-funded supports and other assistance available will be discuss. Ticket information is available on the flyer.
The survey is open now and closes on 23 August 2024.
In the coming weeks we will be inviting students, teachers and parents to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.
We would like to invite you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning survey. As we value the role of parents and carers within our school community we would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and wellbeing at Lumen Christi Catholic College.
The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the URL below:
