Parade route: The parade will begin with Years 3–6 lining the route, while Prep, Year 1 then Year 2 move through the parade into the hall. Following this, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6 will parade into the hall.

Best Viewing: Parents and community members are warmly invited to attend. For the best viewing spots, please gather in the designated areas: the Library Basement (F Block) or in front of K and M Blocks.

Assembly: After the parade, we will hold our Book Week assembly in the hall. Please note that no seating will be available for this assembly.

We can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes and celebrate our love of books together!
