Scholastic Book Fair

This year our Book Fair will open in the Library from Wednesday, 4^th June – Friday 13^th June

During class, the children will have an opportunity to visit the library and view the books on sale. They will complete a wish-list to bring home. If you would like to purchase any books from your child’s wish-list or visit the Book Fair yourself, it will be open before school (8am) and after school (until 4pm).

Students from Years 2 – 6 can also purchase during lunchtime.

 We are looking forward to this exciting event that engages children and promotes literacy.

Purchasing Online

Scholastic Book Fair Parent Pre-Payment

Buying from a Scholastic Book Fair not only grows your home library but provides resources for your school. Every dollar spent at the Book Fair gives back to your library and school.

Thank you for selecting to purchase from your school's Scholastic Book Fair.

The online Book Fair Payment portal allows you to pre-pay for titles from the Book Fair you selected with your child. A receipt number will display so you can complete the Payment Form (No Form? Download here).

The Payment Form must be presented to the school during the Book Fair for your child to collect the books from the Book Fair.

Three easy steps to make a pre-payment:

1. Find your school's Book Fair by selecting your state and then entering the school's name or suburb (can't find your school? call: 1800 024 840) 
2. Enter your details and the total value of the books you wish to pre-pay for.
3. Pre-payment Form to be completed (below), including the receipt number and amount paid. This form MUST be returned to the school during the Book Fair.
