BOOK WEEK

WOW, what a fun day that was! 

Thank you to all of the parents that were able to support their child/ren to come dressed as a book character for our Book Week Parades. 

It was a lot of fun and the students were very excited to see each other's costumes. 

Some photos have been posted on the school's facebook page. 

It was lovely to be able to welcome parents back to the parade as well.

Thank you to all of the staff that also came dressed as some amusing and funny costumes.
