Book Week

The CBCA Book Week in 2026 was from Saturday 22 August to Friday 28 August and the theme was ‘Symphony of Stories’.

We’ve continued our Book Week activities over the last week including Story Time in the Library every lunchtime with students invited to come and hear a staff member read a favourite book, and celebrated with a Dress Up Day and Parade on Friday 4 September.

These award winning titles and others on the shortlist have been available to read in classrooms over the last few weeks and will be available to borrow from our Library soon.

Please see the request to assist with preparing new books for borrowing on the Library page in this newsletter.
