Book Fair 2025 - Tuesday 29th of July - Thursday 7th of July
What is it?
Scholastics Book Fair is a temporary pop-up book shop in the St Anne’s Library.
It is designed to give students access to more books they want to read, from relevant new-release to classic award winners.
These are affordable books to cater for every reading level and interest.
Every book purchased gives St Anne's library some points that will go towards buying new books for the students.
How does it work?
Your child will look through the Book Fair and make a wishlist that will be sent home with them.
Parents can ring or email their book order to scholastics. (Instructions are on the back of the wishlist).
Scholastics will give you a receipt number once you have made your purchase. Send your Wishlist back to St Annes Office with the receipt number on it and your child will be given the book.
If you want to come in and have a look at the books and pay by card (Tap and Go) in the library, it will be open to parents on the following days:
Wednesday morning the 5th August from 8:30- 9 am
Wednesday afternoon the 6th August from 3:30-4pm.
Grandparents Day the 1st of August.

Author Visit
In other Exciting news we have children's Author, Georgie Donaghey coming to St. Anne's.
Georgie has numerous books published and we are looking forward to her workshops with the students on Monday the 4th of August.
CBCA
The Children's Book Council of Australia chooses the best children's books each year. St Anne's library has purchased many of the 2025 shortlisted books. The students will be doing some activities related to these books in library classes this term. The CBCA also decides on a book week theme each year. This year is "Choose Your Own Adventure". The students will be doing activities related to this theme as well.
Book Parade
Don't forget to get your dress ups ready for our Book Parade on Wednesday the 20th of August.
Dressing up as a book character is a great way to get children to use their imaginations and bring the stories and characters they love to life.
The costume does not need to be elaborate, time consuming or expensive- it is just to bring the fun into reading and celebrate our favourite characters.
