Book Character Parade
On Thursday 25 August, all the girls in the Primary School are invited to DRESS UP as a book character, and to participate in the annual Book Character Parade. The purpose of this event is to celebrate Book Week in 2022!
Book Week is officially organised by the Children’s Book Council of Australia and is now in its 77th year. The aim of Book Week is to highlight the importance of, and the joy of reading; the theme in 2022 is Dreaming With Eyes Open.
Girls are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character and to bring a book to match their outfit. The girls may come to school already dressed in their costume and go home the same way. If girls come to school or go home by public transport, they will need to wear their uniform to school and change into their costume when they arrive.
Parents should ensure sensible shoes are worn as “character” shoes can be worn for the parade only.
Girls should also be aware that it is a normal school day and they need to sit and move around the classroom as usual, so large or uncomfortable costumes may not be such a good idea!
Parents are welcome to attend the parade and should arrive at the Primary School ready for the start of the parade at 9am. The parade will be held on the Primary playground weather permitting.
We are looking forward to a fun event to celebrate books and reading!
