Scholastic Book Club
We hope everyone received Issue 2 of the Scholastic Book Club. If you are looking for another copy, we have spare catalogues in the LRC at the Circulation Desk.
First time ordering from Book Club?
You can order books via the website or download the App from the App store: Be sure to select ‘St Josephs School’ and then add your children and their classes. Once you’ve logged in once on the App - it should remember you each time, which makes it easier to order in the future!
You also have the option to tick the “GIFT” box when ordering. This is a great opportunity to purchase BIRTHDAY GIFTS and we will sit them aside secretly for your collection from the Office.
Closing date for all current Book Club orders is FRIDAY 21st MARCH - 2025
Premier's Reading Challenge
The 2025 Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge has opened!
As the school has embarked on a real focus on literacy this year we have decided to enrol every student in this year’s Reading Challenge. Students in Years 3-6 have access to their own device so they will be responsible for adding the books they have read and generating a Book Review on each book which will be emailed to their Classroom Teachers. We will add the books that the Juniors have had read to them, plus the books that they borrow from the library each week. Students in Years 3- 6 need to read 15 books while the Junior students need to ‘experience’ 30 books by September.
If you would prefer your child/children NOT to participate in this year’s Reading Challenge or you would like a copy of your child’s username and password sent home so that you can also support your child in adding books to their ‘dashboard’ then just send me through an email to elloyd@sjwarrnambool.catholic.edu.au
