Book Week 2026

Book Character Parade "Symphony of Stories"

Even in the rain it was the perfect day for a Character Parade.  And didn't everyone have a fun time, students and teachers, in their amazing costumes.  Everyone joined in the spirit of the day. It was fantastic to see so many children dressed in costumes and enjoying themselves as they paraded for their friends, teachers and parents. 

We had such a variety of characters such as Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Cat in the Hat, Where’s Wally, Spiderman, Disney Princesses, Rainbow Fish, Billie B Brown, witches, magicians, Minecraft, Minions, Baby-Sitters Club, Very Hungry Caterpillar, just to name a few. And the teachers joined in the spirit of the day enjoying dressing as their favourite book character. During the parade every class was able to show off their costumes to the rest of the school.  We were also so happy to be able to welcome our VIP guests, preschoolers from Gumtree preschool, who really enjoyed watching and then participating in our parade.  

Our library leaders did an amazing job comparing the event.  They directed the children and classes during the parade.  They also joined in with their classes for their final parade of primary school.    

Thank you everyone for making such an effort with your costumes, for all the parents and carers who attended, for all the teachers’ assistance and for the children who had so much fun.  

Book Donating  

Thank you to everyone who donated books to our library.  Once again it was amazing how many books were donated, and I thank our school community for your generosity.  Books will be loaned to the children who donated them in Week 6 and then will be available to all borrowers from week 7.   

Each child who donates a new book will be the first one to borrow that book and a special book plate (sticker) with the child’s name will be placed in the front of the book.  Over the years, many families have been very generous with donating, and this ensures our library is filled with beautiful books.   

Thank you again for your support of our library.
