With the library decorated to celebrate Book Week, St John the Baptist School, Plympton has a range of exciting activities taking place for all throughout the week The week was launched with a book week assembly. At the assembly it was announced that students had voted “Pig the Pug” by Aaron Blabey as the most popular book in the school.
Everyone is looking forward to Friday when the community will gather for the Book Week parade. Staff members enjoyed a delicious morning tea prepared by Mrs Gauro. The community recognised the work of Mrs Gill, Mrs Gauro and Mrs Schulz in making Book Week a highlight of the school year.
Intergenerational playgroups are truly something special — an experience that enriches the lives of both the young and the older members of our community. These playgroups are more than just a space for children to play; they are a vital platform for different generations to come together, share wisdom, and build meaningful relationships.
