Geelong Regional Branch
Jo Panckridge is the Geelong Regional Director
Hi CBCA Geelong Regional members
CBCA VIC Branch is delighted to announce a Judges’ Talk on Thursday 8 October, 2020 at 5:30pm by Older Readers judge Erin Wamala and Younger Readers judge Ruth Woolven via Zoom.
Both Erin and Ruth will speak about the Shortlisted books in their categories and how they came to be selected for 15-20 mins each. Time for members to participate in a Q&A session with the judges and each other will follow.
Members are encouraged to share how they have promoted the Shortlisted books, in any of the categories, as a way of developing a bank of ideas that could be used by others in individual settings.
The Geelong region is also celebrating the CBCA Book of the Year Awards with a competition open to all primary and secondary students from member schools in this area.
Fabulous book prizes will be offered and winning entries will be published in the CBCA Vic Branch newsletter and on Instagram. Please share these competitions with your students.
I urge you to support both of these wonderful events in celebration of CBCA’s Book of the Year event and the interest and talent in the Geelong region.
Regards
Jo Panckridge
