2022 SJB Book Week

Book Week 2022 - Friday 26 August (Week 6)

Each year since 1945 the CBCA has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week. During this time schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children's authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers, teacher librarians, and public librarians create colourful displays, develop activities, run competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading. You will often see parades with students dressed as their favourite book characters.

The theme for this year is ‘DREAMING WITH EYES OPEN…’ 

St Joseph’s will be celebrating Book Week with our Character Parade, Teachers’ Dance, the Book Week Performance - Story Quest and competitions!
