Book donations - we need your help!
Do you have any old chapter books that you no longer want?
We are looking for chapter books of a range of lengths that would be suitable for Years 3-6. We are particularly looking for books by a range of authors. See below for a few ideas of the types of books we are after.
If you have any books that you would be happy to donate, please place them in the drop-off box in the main office.
Thank you!
