Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
I am excited to announce the Scholastic Junior School Book Fair is back at Canterbury in 2023!
Starting THIS Wednesday 7 June UNTIL Monday 12 June, our primary students will be able to create a wishlist – based on all the great titles available and on display – to purchase these books and educational items.
This year, the Book Fair has relocated from the Junior School Library to the Secondary School Library’s Digital Hub, because of product display space requirements.
The Book Fair will be open beyond normal school hours from 7:30am - 8:15am AND 3:15pm - 4:00pm during these four school days, for wishlist orders, book collections, stationery purchases and processing payments via cash or EFTPOS.
Online ordering is also available this year.
Each Book Fair is designed to give children access to more books they want to read, from relevant new-releases to classic award-winners.
As your children grow, Book Fairs make it easy to ensure their home libraries grow with them.
