Book Week Events & Activities

Book Week 2023 is fast approaching and Mackellar Primary School has a range of exciting activities planned to celebrate this special event.

Author Visit - Thursday 17th August

We are fortunate to have children's author Tim Harris visiting Mackellar on Thursday 17th August to run a series of writing workshops with students in Grades Prep-6. Tim is the bestselling author of several laugh-out-loud series for kids, including Toffle Towers, Mr Bambuckle’s Remarkables, Exploding Endings and the brand new Ratbags series. 

There is no cost for this activity.

Book Week Dress Up Day - Monday 21st August

Our annual Book Week dress up day will be held on Monday 21st August. There will be a dress up parade at our special Book Week Assembly on this day, from 9-9:30am in the Gym. Students who dress up will receive a raffle ticket and go into the draw to win a book prize, which will also be drawn on this day.

Perform Education Incursion - Tuesday 29th August

Perform Education will be visiting Mackellar once again for a special Book Week performance for students in Grades Prep-5, celebrating this year's theme 'Read, Grow, Inspire'. This performance is a highly interactive musical adventure, giving students the opportunity to explore the 2023 CBCA Shortlisted books.
