 On 21 May, 2025, St Joseph’s School, once again, joined the nation in National Simultaneous Storytime, enjoying the book 'The Truck Cat' by Deborah Frenkel, illustrated by Danny Snell.
Some cats are house cats. Some are apartment cats. But Tinka is a truck cat. Tinka lives everywhere.
This event is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in many places around the country. Now in its 25th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
