Boys with books breakfast – we will be launching our book fair with a breakfast/reading opportunity for parents/carers and their son/s on the morning of Wednesday March 11 at 8am in the Junior School Library. Please come along and share in the joy of reading with your son. This invite is open to all parents/carers. We especially encourage as many Dads or other significant male role models to attend as possible. Having male role models showing an interest in reading with young men can have a profound and lasting impact and challenge certain stereotypes associated with reading. To assist us with catering, please email dkelly@stedmunds.act.edu.au with numbers of people attending.
