Book Week Dress Up & Parade

We are really looking forward to celebrating all of the 2023 shortlisted texts next week for Book Week. Classroom teachers have been planning different activities for students to enjoy and respond to these texts and it will conclude with a dress up day and parade on Friday the 25th August. Students are invited to dress as a favourite book character. Depending on weather, our parade will either be around the basketball courts outside the main office building, or in the gym if necessary. Parents/Carers are invited to join us at 9:30am to watch the parade.
