HELENSBURGH READATHON 
Helensburgh Public School has introduced an exciting reading initiative called the ‘Reading Project’.After the success of our recent home reading competition, the Reading Project team have launched a Readathon.

This was an opportunity to continue to build positive reading habits as well as raise funds to purchase more books and reading resources for our students.

The Readathon launched on Monday, 26 October with a Book Parade and engaging classroom reading activities. Each week the children learnt a fun activity to use at home with their families, such as having dinner talks about favourite books, playing dice games about a text, asking questions and having structured discussions about books read.

Helensburgh Public School thanks in advance all students, teachers, parents, family, and members of the local community for their support of the Readathon.

LOCAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT - PLANNING THE 2021 READING PROJECT

Please email at helensburg-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au or call the school on 4294 1332 to speak with the school principal, Mr Ewen Neild, and we will share our ideas in how you can help.

We would love to hear your suggestions as well. Together, we can do something very special for Helensburgh students who are the future of our local community.
