Bayside Mayor Dr Christina Curry presented students with their Book Week awards at a ceremony in the Rockdale Town Hall on Thursday 8 September.
Council received 1,764 entries from 14 Bayside schools for this year’s Dreaming With Eyes Open Book Week art competition.
“I am amazed by the talent and creativity of our young readers and it is becoming more and more difficult to judge this competition,” Mayor Dr Christina Curry said.
“I would like to thank all teachers and parents for their ongoing support and encouragement for this initiative that celebrates the importance of books in children’s lives.”
Bayside Council celebrates Book Week every year with an art competition and activities for young school children.
The winning entries are on display in Council libraries until Friday 16 September.
All the Book Week books can be borrowed from Council Libraries.
