BOOK WEEK PARADE 2024

DATE: Tuesday 20th August

TIME: 9am to 10.30am

VENUE: John Paul II - Emmaus School Hall 

GRADES: K to 6

We would like to welcome any parents able to attend to join us for this celebration. 

During August we are celebrating CBCA Book Week - https://cbca.org.au/cbca-book-week - which celebrates outstanding books by Australian children’s authors and illustrators. We have been reading and discussing the CBCA shortlisted and notable books during library lessons and voting on our favourites. The theme for this year is ‘Reading is Magic’. 

To celebrate Book Week, students are asked to come to school dressed as a character from any book suitable for primary school students. During the Book Week Parade some students and classes will also be awarded for their achievements in reading during the year and in the Premier’s Reading Challenge in Terms 2 and 3. The Premier’s Reading Challenge encourages students to develop a love of reading for life. All students who have met their personal challenge in the Premier’s Reading Challenge will receive an official certificate later in the year.
