BOOK WEEK PARADE Friday 28th August

Don't forget to lock in Friday 28th August for our Book Week Parade. Students are encouraged to dress up as a character from their favourite book. At 9:00am, our students will be parading around Casey playground and families are encouraged to line the outside of Casey to cheer on our students.

We are pleased to announce that Carlisle Homes will be providing a coffee cart for our parents to grab a refreshment while they enjoy the parade.

Message from Carlisle Homes:

Carlisle Homes will be joining the St Peter’s Primary School community for this year’s Book Week Parade, with a free coffee cart for parents, carers and families to enjoy.

Grab a coffee on us, settle in and enjoy seeing the students bring their favourite books and characters to life.

Carlisle is so excited to be bringing Something Better to East Bentleigh, with brand-new display homes opening in early 2027. As we become part of the local community, we’re looking forward to supporting St Peter’s and getting to know the families who call the area home.
