PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Book Week
Each year , since 1945 the Children ’ s Book Council of Australia ( CBCA ) has brought children and books together across Australia through CBCA Book Week . During this time schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children ’ s authors and illustrators . Classroom teachers , teacher librarians and public librarians create colourful displays , develop activities , run competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading .
Due to COVID-19 restrictions we postponed our celebrations in the Preparatory School from the traditional dates in August and held our annual Book Parade on Friday 23 October 2020 . This saw all the students and staff of the School dress up , inspired by the 2020 theme of ‘ Curious Creatures , Wild Minds ’. Many parents and families attended and thoroughly enjoyed the celebrations . A wonderful time was had by all and we look forward to celebrating again this year with the theme of ‘ Old Worlds , New Worlds , Other World .’
