This week we enjoyed a wonderful Book Week Parade with students dressed in a vibrant array of creative and colourful costumes to celebrate our love of books and reading at John Paul II.

As we reach the final stages of planning for our new library it is marvellous to see how excited our students are to be borrowing all the new books purchased this year. When completed next year, our brilliant new library will give us a spacious architecturally designed building where we can share, borrow, read and enjoy books.

At the Book Parade held in our Church we were delighted to present awards to the students below for their amazing effort in reading during the Premier’s Reading Challenge in Term 2, and for being excellent library book borrowers.
