Classes will parade on the Oval (or in the gym if weather is not suitable). Our Student Event Management Forum will compere and assist in the organisation. Students, teachers, parents and families are all encouraged to come to school dressed as book characters or to make some connection to the Book Week theme of “Connect to Reading - Reading to Connect”.  Use your imaginations!!  Students are also encouraged to carry the book that they are ‘connecting’ with.

On Wednesday, students will also meet in their R-7 groups for a special book week activity based on the shortlisted book “Silver Buttons” written by Bob Graham.
