Whalan Public School, in the Greater Western Sydney was featured in the Good Reading Magazine in the October 2012 issue!
"Lots of school children have found reading to be a dreary chore. But as HELEN POLIOS, Deputy Principal of Whalan Public School in Sydney's western suburbs writes, if you give kids enough exciting stories, they'll take to reading without even having to try."
- Good Reading Magazine, October 2012
The article appeared in the School of Stories section, sharing how the reading culture is spread throughout the school. The students were asked to write a book review on books that they have read. They wrote reviews on books they've borrowed from the library, books from the Twilght Tales box launched by author Deborah Abela, and books they received and now own through the Books in Homes Programme sponsored by The University of Western Sydney, Higher Education Participation Program - Bridges to Higher Education.
