Book Week

23 August 2024

Book Week was a wonderful week for our school community. From the creative costumes at our Book Character Parade to our buddy reading sessions, it was a celebration of the magic of reading!

One of the most anticipated events during Book Week is our bi-annual Book Character Parade, where students proudly showcase their favourite characters. From wizards and fairies to brave adventurers, it was a delight to see our students’ creativity and love for books come to life. Well done also to our Junior School teaching staff for their Where’s Wally co-ordinated dress up this year!

Our Family Picnic on Wednesday was a wonderful success, with families gathering on the school grounds to enjoy a shared love of reading. It was lovely to see our parents and their children sharing stories, and simply enjoying each other’s company in our playground. The weather, like the reading, was also magic!

Our Book Week Buddy Reading sessions are always a particular highlight of Book Week, with Junior School students paired with Senior School buddies for some quality reading time. These sessions not only fostered a love of reading but also strengthened the relationships within our school community.

Students also eagerly exchanged pre-loved books at the Book Swap event, discovering new stories and fostering a love for reading. The event was a fantastic way to connect and share favourite reads, leaving everyone excited for more literary adventures.
