Once again St Catherine's Primary School will be hosting A Great Book Swap to raise money for children living in remote communities of Australia.
This fundraiser helps children in these communities with much needed books and resources. 
During Book Week, 21st -25th of August, we will be hosting the Great Book Swap on Tuesday 22/8, Wednesday 23/8 and Thursday 24th of August.
How it works is that all families are asked to donate a few books that they no longer want to the swap.
Books can be dropped off  to our school Library, any time up until Friday 18th of August. 
 
During Book Week children will be able to bring a gold coin or coins and participate in the swap. They will be able to choose a book or books after they have donated a gold coin to take home.
Thank you for supporting this Great Book Swap at St Catherine's, with your child and our community.
Happy Swapping.
