Thiele Library has a long history of working closely with the Catford (Pedare), Thomas (Gleeson) and Golden Grove High School's Libraries. One of the longest of these traditions is the cross campus Book Cup which involves all Year 8 English students across the campus culminating in an author visit and Grand Final in Book Week in August.
Book Cup 2019
This year's Book Cup will be slightly modified in 2019. There will a few less texts to read and view, and instead of each school holding Semi-finals, the top four teams from each school in the class Heats will be nominated to participate in the Grand Final that is scheduled to be held on Friday 23 August 2019. This year's Book Cup texts will be announced in Week 6, Term 2.
We are excited to announce that Scot Gardner will be visiting our campus to talk to all Year 8s in the DRMC on Tuesday 27 August. Scot Gardner is a well known and experienced Australian author of books for young adults and adolescents. His latest book titled Changing Gear is shortlisted for the Children's Book Council Book of the Year. We wish all the best with this nomination and look forward to meeting him in the week after Book Week.
