The Same Page Book Club program
promotes reading engagement by
having students and their
parents / carers read their own copy
of the same book at the same time over the
Summer 2026 / 2027 holidays.
How Do I Join the Same Page Book Club?
1. Have a look through the Same Page Book Club presentation
2. Choose the top 3 novels you and your daughter would like to read together from this presentation
3. Email sdenford@saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au with your preferences
...and then close to the end of term, your daughter will receive an email to let her know her book packs are ready for collection.
There is an extensive range of fabulous books across multiple genres available, so there’s something for everyone!
If you require more than two copies of the same book, please let us know when emailing your preferences and we will do our very best to accomodate your request.
The benefits of the Same Page Book Club program
Extensive research indicates that recreational reading not only strengthens language, literacy, and cognitive development, but also nurtures empathy, imagination, emotional intelligence and mental health. The Same Page Book Club is an opportunity for you and your daughter to share the love (and benefits!) of reading together. Our Same Page presentation includes general book discussion questions to serve as prompts for you and your daughter to chat about the book and perhaps offer different perspectives.
In a busy world where screens and phones vie for attention, the Same Page initiative is a chance to stop for a moment and unwind with a good book, in a shared experience with your child.
