Junior School & Gawura library gets new furniture
We have new lounges and ottomans for students to read and relax on! The proved very popular when they were delivered during stage 2 lunch. Thank you to all the helpers who helped give them a great new home.

Finished the PRC for 2018?
Well don’t stop reading! The JS & Gawura library has a new challenge for you. Pick up an entry form, read any ten books, complete the entry form and return it to Mrs Paul for your chance to win a book of your choice. There’s 2 draws this term and you can enter as many times as you’d like.
So, the more you read the more chances you have of winning! What are you waiting for?
The first draw has happened. Congratulations to Ilia Campbell who was our first winner. Our next draw will happen in week 9, so keep your entries coming in.
