Book Week (21st – 25th August)

The exciting time of Book Week is upon us! This is an opportunity for students to be immersed in books and celebrate their favourite titles by dressing up. 

 

The theme of Book Week for this year is: Read, Grow, Inspire.

Parade: 

The Book Week Parade will be held on Friday 25th August between 9:30am-11:00am. Students are encouraged to create a costume that highlights the theme for Book Week or their favourite book. We would love to have our SMPS community attend the parade to be part of the fun that will ensue. Please come to the school gym at 9:30am. The SMPS staff are looking forward to seeing creative costumes and to show off their own! Here are some ideas:
