Book Week - 2025

BOOK WEEK 2025

This Book Week, we embarked on an adventure that brought stories to life and filled our school with creativity, laughter, and connection. From the moment the week began, there was a buzz of excitement in the air with the library open each morning to explore the shortlisted books.

On Friday we began our day with heartfelt prayers that set a beautiful tone, reminding us that stories can inspire, comfort, and unite us. Then came the dress-ups, an explosion of imagination as students and staff transformed into beloved book characters. The school was alive with colour, costumes, and contagious enthusiasm.

We immersed ourselves in a world of creativity and imagination, diving into hands-on crafts that brought stories to life in colourful, expressive ways. Pages turned quietly in cozy corners as students explored new worlds, shared favourite tales, and discovered the magic hidden between the lines.

Whether we were painting, gluing, cutting, or settling in with a favourite story, every moment was a celebration of the delight and wonder that reading brings. The joy was unmistakable, seen in focused faces, heard in excited chatter, and felt in the calm that comes from being truly engaged. It was a week that reminded us how stories can spark creativity, build community, and leave lasting memories.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined in, dressed up, read aloud, crafted, and celebrated with us. Your energy and enthusiasm made this week unforgettable.

Here’s to more shared adventures, more stories waiting to be discovered, and many more good times ahead!

Johanna Baldacchino (Deputy Principal)
