Childrens Book Week
This year our school celebrated Children's Book Week with our infamous Book Parade, and activity day yesterday. We were absolutely blown away by the costumes created this year. A huge thank you to our parents and carers for helping make these visions come to reality.
The Book Fair Book Shop
We would like to thank all our school and local community for coming along to our Book Shop and making a purchase. It is with thanks to you all we have raised $380 to put towards new book purchases for our students in our Library.
Book Parade
What fun we all had!!!! All classes had a chance to bust out some moves to music as they paraded in character for our school community. The calibre of costumes was fantastic. We also really enjoyed taking our parade on tour. Our whole school met up with the Kinder children at the park and paraded once more. The kinder children had some fantastic questions for our students.
