Book Week Celebrations

St Benedict’s Primary School celebrated Book Week with a joyful blend of creativity, storytelling, and literary exploration. The highlight of the week was our vibrant Book Character Parade, where students and staff brought beloved book characters to life with imaginative costumes and enthusiastic spirit.

A special shout-out to Mrs Greaves for organising the exciting Where’s Wally Scavenger Hunt, which had students searching high and low around the school for clues and hidden Wallys around the school. It was a fantastic way to combine fun with literacy and observation skills!

Throughout the week, students engaged with a selection of CBCA Shortlisted Books from our library collection. These stories sparked rich discussions, inspired art activities, and deepened our appreciation for Australian children's literature. From read-alouds to themed classroom projects, Book Week was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the power of books and the joy of reading.

Thank you to all families and staff for your support in making this week so memorable!
