Book Week 2026
Next week, BNWPS will be celebrating Book Week with two exciting literary events -
Thursday 13th August is our 3rd Annual BNWPS Writers Festival. Students will be taking part in Play activities for generating ideas, and will ‘Write a book in 120 minutes’. Foundation and junior students will take part in a workshop run by author/illustrator Anna Zobel while the middle and senior students will take part in writing and word electives run by specialist and classroom teachers. From 3.00pm, we invite any members of the community in to share our writing, and to do some of their own! More information will be shared in next Monday’s newsletter.
Friday 14th August is Our Annual Book Character Parade - Everyone is invited to dress up as their favorite book character! We will have a parade on the basketball court at 9.00am. Parents/carers are invited to join us for this event - feel free to dress up too!
Trivia Night
Saturday night’s Trivia night was a huge success - so many great 90’s themed costumes (so much flannel!) and a truly inspiring performance from a band made up of BNWPS parents/carers … after only a few rehearsals too! A huge thank you to the community members who gave up time and energy to plan, organise and set up the event. What a great night!!
