The Great Book Swap
The Great Book Swap is a fantastic way to celebrate reading in our local community and raise much-needed funds for remote Indigenous communities. The idea is to swap a favourite book you no longer want any more in exchange for another, for a gold coin donation. Help close the literacy gap and make a difference in the lives of remote Indigenous communities.
Our Great Book Swap will be held on Wednesday 3rd July. To celebrate the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages, we have been assigned a language house to support.
St Kieran Primary School has been allocated Bigibigi House (pig in Kriol, NT)
Last year our St Kieran Primary School helped raise $478.55 for The Great Book Swap which helped to provide books and literacy programs to remote communities where they are needed most.
What to do:
1. Bring in books to your class teacher you have finished reading and do not want anymore. Please ensure books are in good condition and a suitable content for the age of the class. The more books you bring in, the more you can swap for new ones. Teachers will start collecting between the dates Monday 24th June.
2. Our Swap Day will be held on Wednesday 3/7/19 in the Upper Learning Area
3. On the day, the class teacher will take you to the ‘Great Book Swap’. Everyone will donate a gold coin to participate and then some time during the day teachers will take each class to choose their new book. If you brought in more than one book, you may choose the same amount as you brought in. It’s as simple as that!
Thank you for your support!
