The CBCA, or The Children’s Book Council of Australia, has several educative purposes, primarily focused on promoting and celebrating Australian children’s literature. They aim to connect children with quality books, foster a love of reading, and support Australian writers and illustrators. Through initiatives like the CBCA Book of the Year Awards and Children’s Book Week, they provide a platform for engaging with literature and developing literacy skills. |
On Thursday the 21st of August, during Book Week, we are asking all students to express their adventurous, fun selves in support of Children’s Literature in keeping with the 2025 CBCA Book Week theme, Book an Adventure. During the week of Book Week, to celebrate 80 years educating children, the library will be running a series of competitions and activities to promote the CBCA and to celebrate the winning authors! |
The year 10 Health and Wellbeing are learning about how communities in Australia implement the Ottawa Charter by creating supportive environments and strengthening community action. In particular, the students are focusing on how our local community supports spiritual, social, emotional, physical and mental health and wellbeing. The students will be engaging in an observation walk, in which they will notice examples of how the physical environment in Warrandyte supports individuals to improve their health and wellbeing. Some examples students will observe are the outdoor gym along the Warrandyte River, the walking path along the river, the community notice board, Warrandyte Neighbourhood House, Warrandyte football club, wonguim wilam PlaySpace and the local library. Students will stop at each location to engage in discussions as to how each place can promote dimensions of health and wellbeing (our current unit). Additionally, the excursion will be used as a bridge to our next unit, in which students learn about the Ottawa Charter. Students will be able to reflect on this excursion when learning about the difference between creating supportive environments and strengthening community action, two topics which students generally find confusing. The excursion will also serve to provide ideas for when students create their own community health and wellbeing action plans. Lastly, the excursion gives the students an opportunity to improve their own spiritual, social, physical and mental health and wellbeing. |
