Whalan Public School, Western Sydney

The children at Whalan Public School really enjoyed their Monday morning on the 3^rd December 2012, as it was their Book Giving Assembly. The school was very grateful that their Books in Homes Role Model Marjorie Crosby-Fairall, a famous Children’s Illustrator and the UWS student ambassador, Edwin Concubierta were able to visit the school on this outstanding day. During the assembly, the students were inspired by Marjorie’s talk and presentation. They were all very excited to have a look at her portfolio that she had brought along.  

After the assembly, a special morning tea was held in the library where the School Leaders and a chosen group of Year 1 to Year 6 children could talk to Marjorie about the student’s art work that was on display in the library. Marjorie Crosby-Fairall and Edwin Concubierta spent time with a Kindergarten class when they received their book bags and they were able to sit and read with some of them.
