Book Week 2025

Thank you to the St Paul community for making Book Week 2025 a fantastic success – it really was an amazing ‘adventure’! It was an incredible week engaging with Australian authors, celebrating literacy and having fun. Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who assisted their children with dress up costumes for the Book Week parade. I have to give a special shout out to the parents, carers and siblings who dressed up as their favourite book character and participated in the parade too. I look forward to more parents and carers showing off their favourite book characters next year!

The PRC 2025 ends next Friday 5 September. The PRC form needs to be handed in by this date. Medals and certificates will be given out in Term 4. We have been reading lots of PRC books during library time and these books, combined with some reading at home, should ensure that all children can complete the challenge.
