Book Week

SAVE THE DATE. . . BOOK WEEK IS COMING SOON!

Theme: Curious Creatures, Wild Minds 

The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) main focus is to engage communities with literature for young Australians. The CBCA presents annual awards to books of literary merit, for outstanding contribution to Australian children's literature.

Established in 1945, the Children’s Book Council of Australia was founded at a time when Australian children’s books were few, and Australian authors and illustrators were scarce too. In 1946 the CBCA established annual book awards to promote books of high literary and artistic quality. Today these awards are now the most influential and highly respected in Australia nationwide.

Each year, the CBCA brings children and books together from around Australia, celebrating CBCA Book Week. Throughout the year, the CBCA works in partnership with authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers and book promoters in the children’s book world to bring words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of young and old Australians.

DRESS UP, GET CREATIVE!

Each year, schools and libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books, and Australian authors and illustrators. At BPS, together the library and teachers will promote a WEEK full of FUN!

 There will be COLOUR, ACTIVITIES, COMPETITIONS and STORY TELLING highlighting the importance of reading.

Pull out your DRESS UP box and start thinking of your FAVOURITE BOOK CHARACTER.
