Premier’s Reading Challenge – WE DID IT!

That’s right, as of last Friday, EVERY student at Holy Cross has completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Once again, our wonderful teachers and students stepped up to the challenge and have completed it within the timeframe (certificates are sent to the school in November).

Every student should be very proud of what they have accomplished – we certainly are of them! Well Done Holy Cross!

Scholastic Book Fair: 12-16 September (WEEK 9)

Our students are VERY excited about the upcoming Book Fair, our last one was three years ago and is well overdue! Book Fairs are a great way to foster interest in reading (not to mention ideas for a sneaky Christmas Pressie).

Students will get a “SNEAK PEAK” in their Library Lesson on Friday, 9 September and complete their “Wish List” – this will be sent home with them. There is NO obligation to buy, this just gives an indication of the interest of your child if you choose to get them something.

The Book Fair will be open:

Overdue Notices Now Automated!

As of last week, Overdue Book Notices will now be sent directly to the parent/carer via email. These notices are just a friendly reminder that your childs book/s have now become overdue and need to be returned. The benefit of emailing the parent/carer instead of receiving a paper copy is that the notices do not get 'lost' between school and home, administration is more time efficient, and above all saves paper which is good for the environment.

Happy Reading!
