Book Week 2026

What an exciting way to start our week with the celebration of Book Week and dress up day. It was a wonderful to see all the colour and creativity present on Monday morning. It was great or celebrate literacy in so many different forms. Thanks to the staff and students who participated on the day, and especially to the wonderful parent community who helped with the creations and came along to support the parade.
