Did you know that fluency is an important skill for successful reading? And it's not just about reading quickly! Informed by school-wide assessment data, and our school improvement plan for learning, teachers across the school are implmenting new strategies for improving reading fluency. One strategy that is being used in our classes is buddy reading, where children to listen to each other read and give specific feedback. Our teachers are doing a great job teaching our children what fluent reading sounds like and what to look for, and our Year 1 students are already providing their buddies with valuable feedback!

What a week it has been! Our Book Week celebrations have been filled with excitement, imagination and of course, a whole lot of books! This week Kindy, Year 1 and Year 2 were thrilled to welcome Australian children’s author Pip Harry yesterday, spending time connecting with a real author. Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 enjoyed a fantastic performance by Meerkat Productions, based on this year’s Children's Book Council of Australia Younger Readers Book of the Year - "Inked". Everyone in K-6 has challenged their thinking with the ‘Mystery Picture Book’, uncovered clues to decide who ‘The Masked Teacher Readers' were, explored the wonderful ‘Book Fair’ and watched a funny Reader’s Theatre adaptation of ‘Alpacas with Maracas’ performed by the teachers. From beginning to end, our school has been buzzing with a love of reading and stories. What an incredible way to celebrate our ‘Symphony of Stories’ Book Week 2026!
