Book Week – Read, Grow, Inspire

The skies cleared, and the sun shone on us all, for a fantastic turnout of literary enthusiasm and celebration at our K-6 Parade yesterday. It was wonderful to share the experience with all staff, students, and many families, in promoting a love of reading and books. Following the parade, K-2 students enjoyed viewing the online theatrical adaptation of the CBCA shortlisted book, Frank’s Red Hat; and Years 3-6 students were treated to a very exciting and challenging Spelling Bee final in the gym. Congratulations to the winners, Christian Kollias (Stage 2), and Kyran Diec (Stage 3).
