Book Week 2025

Book Week Celebrations at SKiPPS

Thank you to our entire community for bringing so much joy to this year’s Book Week Dress Up Parade. It is always such a proud moment to see our students take the lead on days like this.

A special congratulations to our Year 6 leaders - Max, Alec, Poppy, Archie, Iniko and Bea, who volunteered to take charge of Book Week. They kicked things off by creating colourful posters to display around the school, visited every classrooms to answer questions about the parade, and most impressively, ran and led the whole assembly. What a wonderful example of leadership and teamwork!

We also extend our thanks to parents and carers for helping with costumes - the creativity and effort were amazing. The photos say it all, with smiles as big as the books we celebrated!

This week marks the final stage of our Book Week festivities, and we are thrilled to be welcoming back 

Meerkat Productions to SKiPPS. They will bring two of this year’s shortlisted books to life on stage:

• Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2: The Garden of Broken Things by Freya Blackwood – 9.30am
• Year 3 and Year 4: Small Acts by Kate Gordon & Kate Foster – 11.25am
• Year 5 and Year 6: Small Acts – 2.00pm

We can’t wait to wrap up Book Week with these exciting performances!
