Dear Parents/Carers

This will be our first Book Week as a school.   During this week the children will be engaging in various activities; these include 2 author visits covering all grades, craft, special lunchtime activities, gameshows for the older students and of course the famous Book Week Parade.

The mention of a parade can immediately cause headaches for some of our parents.  We would like the parade to be as stress free as possible for all. If your child has spiderman pjs - wear them.  If your child has dress ups at home - use them. If you would like to get crafty and ‘build’ a costume - keep it simple.  I myself will be borrowing clothes and using electrical tape for my costume!

Leading up to this week the students and I have been looking at the shortlisted books that are in the competition for this year.  

Our parade will be held on Thursday 23rd August at 2pm in the hall.   

Students are welcome to wear costumes to school for the day so long as they can function- ie. sunsafe, easy to move around in etc, there is also ample time at second break for the children to get changed if needed. If parents of our lower primary classes could come in and help with this process, that would be wonderful.  Please let your class teacher know closer to the date if you can help out.

Any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact me.
