BOOK WEEK 2020
Each year SJV celebrates the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week in August. Due to the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, CBCA Book Week 2020 will now be held 17th October – 23rd October 2020.
This means SJV will look at holding a Book Week parade during Week 2, Term 4 but is unable to confirm at the moment how this event will look due to changing COVID-19 restrictions.
This year Book Week’s theme is Curious Creatures, Wild Minds! Details will be confirmed as we approach Term 4.

The Great Book Swap for Indigenous Literacy Day
Every year SJV is a proud fundraiser for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and holds the Great Book Swap for Indigenous Literacy Day. This year we will be running the Book Swap a little differently and due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are not asking students to donate second-hand books. Fortunately, through-out the year our generous SJV families often donate their old books to the library and we hence have enough books for students to all purchase one with a gold coin donation.
The Great Book Swap will be held during Library/ Health lessons in week 8 and it would be fantastic if all students could bring in a gold coin to swap for a book. It is a great way to celebrate reading locally and raise much-needed funds for remote communities. You will be actively helping gift 35,000 new, carefully chosen books to children who need them the most.
Please send in a gold coin with your students’ library bag and books Tuesday 8th – Thursday 10th September, 2020 (week 8). A donation tin will be available for the coins to limit contact with cash hence no change can be given.
