Book Week

CBCA Book Week has been taking place all over Australia this week in schools, pre-schools, libraries and child care centres. Library classes have been busy exploring these books over the last couple of months and have enjoyed guessing which book would be judged book of the year by the CBCA judges.

At JHSS we have moved Book Week to week 7 as we have a very special guest joining us for our annual costume parade / Book Week assembly.

Bestselling Australian children's author Andy Griffiths is visiting our school to celebrate his brand new book, You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast. Andy will be delighting us with a fun presentation about his books and what it is like to be an author. Order your copy of You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast and other Andy Griffiths books from Where the Wild Things Are Bookshop using this form or online at  https://wherethewildthingsare.com.au/c/andy-griffiths-august-2025. Online orders must be placed by 9am Thursday 28th August and will be delivered to the school that day. All the books will be signed by Andy on the day!
