Family Reading Month – Read Every Day in May 

In May, the School will celebrate Family Reading Month alongside our upcoming Book Fair, inviting families to take part in our Read Every Day in May challenge. 

The idea is simple. Set aside ten minutes each day to read together as a family, record your progress on the entry form, and go into the draw to win a pack of books. Prize packs will be awarded in both Junior Primary and Upper Primary categories. 

Family Reading Month is a wonderful opportunity to build strong reading habits, nurture a love of stories and spend meaningful time together. To learn more about its benefits, click here.

Further details about the Book Fair and Family Reading Month will be shared at the start of Term 2. In the meantime, we encourage families to begin building a daily reading routine at home.
