Thank you!

We value our library and the joy that reading brings our students and we know the students love our library too.

Each year our library teacher, Jan Metzner, runs a Book Drive to raise funds to help keep our library stocked with new books and replace worn copies of existing stock. The most popular books always wear out fast!

We ask families who are able to make a donation via our online Donation Form.

If you wish to donate, your child will be invited to the library at lunchtime during the week to choose the book(s) they want to donate. Your child’s name will go in the front of the books to acknowledge their contribution and they’ll also get to borrow the new books first to enjoy at home!

All donations help the school to provide quality library books for our students to enjoy for years to come.

Sponsor

This year our Book Drive is, once again, proudly sponsored by Jonathan Hammond of CobdenHayson who has generously donated $2,000 towards library resources for all our students.

Jonathan has volunteered to sponsor this event, and other events at Stanmore Public School, since 2016. This brings his total contribution to the school and our students to over $58,000!

When asked why he chooses to support our school so generously, Jonathan said:

We thank Jonathan for his loyal and generous support over the years.

Book Parade and Grandparents’ Morning Tea

Thursday, August 22 - 9:15 am

On Thursday, August 22 we will be holding our Book Parade under the COLA followed by the Grandparents’ Morning Tea.

Students can let their imaginations run wild and celebrate their favourite literary characters in costume.

This is always a fun event for the kids and costumes in previous years have been quite amazing. So put your thinking caps on and start preparing now.

Grandparents, and other family members, are also invited to join the students after the parade for morning tea. They can enjoy spending time with the kids in their learning environment and help them choose a book or books to donate.
