This time of year is always exciting. The school has been a-buzz with conversation surrounding our Book Week Character Parade. With the theme Australia: Story Country the school community have been thinking about characters that have influenced our nation’s story.

From a wide repertoire of characters to select from, we saw many representations of native animals, famous Australians of our past as well as those authors that have played a significant role in telling the story of Australia – the swagmen of Waltzing Matilda, the troupe of Ned Kelly, the gumnut babies and banksia men – adorned our parade.

Book week parade is so very spectacular with all the marvellous costumes. Book week encourages kids of all ages to read the wonders that lie in the exceptional world of literature. I was a man called Woodley from the amazing book called THE WIZARD OF RONDO. Everyone was a completely different character from a different superb book. Books are the things that enlighten our kind giving us more knowledge and imagination. Book week was truly magical seeing all the costumes and people reading. Stylianos Vasili

Book week was a really fun day. Everyone really tried to make their costume look like the character they were acting. The parade was amazing, they really got into character and showed who they were. I was the man from the book ” The Arrival “. Even the teachers dressed up. I also saw that some people worked together to be two different characters from the same book. Tee Barrington-Higgs

On book week there were many costumes like Waltzing Matilda, Anzacs, Tashi, Storm Boy, Pig The Pug, Mr Wolf, Captain Cook & animal costumes. The costumes were meant to be based on Australian books, authors & Australian story. The parade was in the hall & everyone walked around to Aussie music in the background. Ted Walker

Book week is a special event that is organised by Mrs Gough, it is a fun day where we get to dress up as your favourite book character. This time I went as Tashi from the book series called Tashi. I like Tashi the book because the main character Tashi is a fun and caring character which I like in a character. I’m very happy that Mrs Gough organises book week all the time for us, it is very fun!  Rishaad Wildie
