CBCA BOOK WEEK PARADE
Save the Date: Book Week Parade on Thursday, August 21 2025!
Our annual Book Week Parade is not far away, and will take place on Thursday, August 21, during Week 5 of Term 3.
The Book Week Parade is a wonderful opportunity for children to showcase their creativity and love of reading by dressing up as their favorite book characters. Whether they choose a beloved hero, a magical creature, or a character from a classic tale, we can't wait to see their imaginative costumes!
Parents are warmly invited to join us for this special occasion and cheer on our young readers as they parade their costumes.
Let's make this year's Book Week Parade an adventure for everyone involved!
