Issue 2 of Scholastic Book Club for 2022 was sent home yesterday. This is a fantastic way to build your child’s/ children’s personal library and love of reading.  All purchases support the school library with the library receiving a percentage of the sales to purchase books for the library. Orders need to be placed by Friday 25 March. 

It is easy to order. All orders are placed using  Book Club LOOP platform which allows parents to pay by credit card. Your child’s order is delivered directly to school and the books will be delivered to your child's classroom. You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/LOOP or using the LOOP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
