Book Week
Reading is magic! Students celebrated Book Week at Glen William Public School by dressing up as our favourite book characters. We had astronauts, dinosaurs, wizards, cowboys and all sorts of creative characters come to life before our eyes, and parade around our COLA area to the magical music of Harry Potter. We thank our wonderful parents, carers and community for celebrating this year’s Book Week with us, and a special thank you to our P&C for organising our BBQ lunch. Our Book Fair was a great success. Thank you all!
Leader Reader Preschool Program
Stage 3 students will join the Leader Reader program this term, visiting local preschools to share storybooks and build connections. This initiative aims to strengthen ties with preschools, develop leadership skills, and introduce our 2025 Kindergarten friends before orientation. Leaders will visit preschools with Miss Parr each Thursday morning. Small Schools Athletics Carnival Congratulations to all students who competed at the
