Beaumont Road School Book Parade

The Book Parade raised $551.55 for the Badu Island School located in the Torres Strait, approximately 45km north of Thursday Island. They are very excited to receive our donation to contribute to their library!

A big thank you to all the parents who helped with the covering of library books today and also to the parents who took the books home to be covered. It is very much appreciated. Now all of our new library books are able to be borrowed by Beaumont Road School students. Once again, thank you! Miss Brooke Muddell Teacher Librarian
