Bookweek Dressup Day Wednesday 26 August!
Our Book Week celebrations are fast approaching, and we are excited to embrace this year’s theme, “Symphony of Stories.”
Students are encouraged to get creative and design a costume inspired by a favourite book character. We encourage families to use recycled materials and items already available at home, or students may choose to wear a costume they already have.
Book Week will begin with our Design Door Parade shortly after the morning bell, followed by our whole-school Book Week Dress-Up Parade.
