There were fairies, superheroes, angels, minions, unicorns, farmers, Dr Seuss Things 1&2, a collection of Harry Potters, a Bob the Builder who wore his hardhat all day, and even a Bluey … and much, much more at our Book Week parade this year!

A big thanks to families who attended our Book Week celebrations, and who assisted students to dress up in all manner of book and character themed costumes.

Mr Ralph was particularly distracted by the arrival at our morning staff briefing by Mr Gordon in an inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costume and was greatly entertained at the parade by Henry’s ride-on dinosaur, Heidi’s box of 101 hand-drawn dalmatians, and Rayce’s life-size dalek costume from Dr Who.

We all enjoyed the sunshine for our parade on the tennis courts, a shared morning tea in the Library and primary classroom visits in the morning.

Book Week is an annual celebration of reading and literacy, and a reminder about the value of having books in our lives – what a colourful and fun day this was!
