St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School Junior School students recently eagerly dressed up as their favourite book characters for Book Week.
All for the love of reading, the students held a special parade of their characters from their favourite books for parents and also showed them what they have been learning in literacy at school.
This year’s theme for The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week is “Find Your Treasure” and the event gives students across Australia an opportunity to celebrate reading, books, and Australian authors and illustrators.
St Paul’s students have been participating in a multitude of activities for Book Week to learn about the importance of reading.
