We look forward to seeing you next Monday, 18th August for an adventurous Book Week! 

We are celebrating 80 years of Children’s Book Week!  For 8 decades, the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) has been dedicated to inspiring young minds to journey through the countless worlds that books offer.

This year's Children's Book Week promises to be a magnificent one with plenty of festivities and celebrations at BPPS! 

This year's theme Book an Adventure ties the exploratory aspirations of the artist, Jess McGeachin and our invitation to join us in celebrating 80 years of Children's Book Week.  Jess will be here on Monday to visit us. 

Come on an adventure with us in 2025 as we travel across lands, time, and memories. 

We look forward to seeing you, May Vos-Rutter
