The Great Book Swap

Monday, September 15, 2025

The Great Book Swap was held on Thursday, 11 September to celebrate Indigenous Literacy Day. Students brought to school any books that they have loved and enjoyed (but could bear to part with) and made a gold coin donation to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).


Over 1134 books were swapped and $366.00 was raised. This money allows the ILF to buy new books for children in remote Aboriginal communities. The perpetual gold trophy for the most money raised went to Mr Murphy and 4D for donating $130.00, and the silver perpetual trophy went to Mrs Janine and 3B who swapped 161 books. This is the second year in a row that Mrs Janine and her class have won the silver trophy. An incredible effort from both classes. Special thanks to Mrs Theresa Essey who generously gave her time to set up the book swap.
