Australian Reading Hour 2021

In the final week of Term 3 we celebrated Australian Reading Hour with a variety of activities designed to share the joy of reading.

Students were encouraged to engage with our Australian Reading Hour resource guide which includes:

  • information about Australian Reading Hour
  • links to an on demand video event “Stories That Matter for Teens” featuring several Australian authors of Young Adult fiction
  • information about author Jenna Guillaume and her Australia Reads novella, The Deep End, as well as her other books
  • links to two competitions run by the Library for students to participate in for Australian Reading Hour
  • book discussion ideas
  • custom bookmarks for students to print
  • a 'Where Should I Read' chatterbox for students to print
  • Find A Word based on The Deep End
  • Book Confessional – whether you are a reader or not, this is a fun video for all to enjoy

We hope students enjoyed Australian Reading Hour and all of the activities and competitions throughout the week. The lucky competition winners will be announced at the beginning of Term 4.
