Book Week 2026
SYMPHONY OF STORIES
Book Parade
On Thursday 3rd September, the Hall came alive with lots of amazing characters for our biannual Book Week Parade. It was great to see so many parents in attendance and the efforts made with costumes and this year's theme. Group costumes and book series were a hit this year! Thank you to our library monitors and musical DJs for all their help with the morning parade.
Congratulations to the following students on winning prizes for the best costume. They will get the opportunity to spend $10 at our upcoming Book Fair in Term 4.
