Ambassador Visit to Cobdogla Primary School
13 June 2025
Friday 13th June was a lucky day for R-2 students at Cobdogla Primary School as they welcomed award winning author, and PRC Ambassador, Katrina Germein. Students were engaged as Katrina asked for their help with puppets when reading and singing her book One Little Duck. Other books shared included Bev and Kev, and Fabulous Frogs.
Katrina inspired students to continue writing their own stories and, of course, to continue reading lots and completing the Premier’s Reading Challenge.
Student quotes demonstrate how much they enjoyed having Katrina visit, and the impact she had on them:
