On Wednesday 25th May we celebrated National Simultaneous Storytime. (NSS). This event is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops, and many other places around the country. Students at St Catherine’s engaged in the reading/sharing of the story and participated in a range of activities such as class murals, family portraits, story retells, art reflections, author/illustrator studies, and many more.  It was wonderful to see a buzz around the school as students engaged in their learning through this event.
