Book Week Parade & Book Stall

This year, our Book Week Celebration will be held on Friday 6th September, starting at 9:15 am. Your child is invited to dress up as a book character or in a costume to match the 2024 Book Week theme, “Reading is Magic”.

Please note that the later date is due to clashes with our Stage 3 Sydney Excursion.

Two small prizes will be awarded in each class for Best Costume and Costume that displays the Children’s Book Council of Australia theme.

After the parade, families are invited to join us for a picnic morning tea, with tea and coffee provided from the Canteen. Parents are also asked to pack food to share with their child/children.

Finally, we will also be holding a Book Fair during the day for parents and children to purchase books under the COLA area. EFTPOS will be available.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Have fun preparing your costumes!
