BOOK WEEK and BOOK FAIR

We are thrilled to announce that our annual Book Parade is just around the corner, and this year's theme is "Read, Grow, Inspire." This exciting event will take place on Thursday, 10th August at 11:30 am in the school courtyard. It promises to be a celebration of books and the joy of reading.

Students will have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite book characters and bring their beloved stories to life. We encourage students to get creative and put their imagination to work as they choose or make their costumes.

In addition to the Book Parade, we will be hosting a Book Fair in the school library. The Book Fair is not only a great opportunity to enhance your personal book collection but also a chance to support our school. A percentage of the proceeds from the Book Fair will go towards acquiring new books for our library.

The Book Fair will be open before and after school from Monday 7th August to Monday 14th August and lunchtimes for students.
