BOOK WEEK Celebrations

Each year across Australia, schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children’s literature during Book Week. St Edward's students will be involved in a range of activities which will be held in Week 4 and 5 this term. The theme this year is "Reading is My Super Power". 

This year all children K - 6 are asked to come to school dressed up for our Book Week Parade (they stay in their costume all day). They are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite story book character or as something related to the theme, “Reading is My Secret Power”. The date for the Parade is TOMORROW Friday 16th August.  The Primary Parade will be held at 10.15am and the Infants Parade at 11.30am. Parents are most welcome to attend.

Also for our Book Week Parade, we are asking the students to please bring in the book that their costume is based on eg. If you are dressing up as 'Belle' you will need to bring in the book "Beauty and the Beast".  If any students are having trouble finding a specific book or need a book for inspiration, please see the respective Librarians.

We are looking forward to a fun filled week!

Yours in reading,

Marisa Cartan & Natasha Gippel, Librarians
