Library News
Term three is always a busy term in the library. This term students will be receiving a 45 minute library/STEAM lesson every second week by Debbie Cowie. Book week is coming up in the week 19 – 25th August with the theme of “Read, Grow, Inspire. We will be hosting a book week parade for our younger students. So keep your thinking hats on for inspiration. Remember to keep it simple though.
Premiers reading challenge is still running so please get your child to fill in the books that they have read. Every child should be eligible for a certificate from the Premiers Reading Challenge.

ICAS
ICAS tests will be run before school in the library. This is a reminder that enrolments close on 19 July 2023
What is ICAS?
ICAS is an online academic competition that is designed to assess students’ higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee and Digital Technologies.
Each assessment celebrates students’ accomplishments by providing opportunities for recognition and development. Every student who participates will receive a printed certificate and an online results report. Top performers will be eligible for medals.
At Yeronga State School we offer students the opportunity to sit the ICAS test as an option, by providing an assessor and space to sit the test.
