CBCA Book Week 2021
The theme for this year is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds” and will be held from August 21-27 (Term 3). During this time, our school will spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian Children’s authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers and our Discovery Centre (Library) team will create a colourful display, develop activities, run competitions, Book Fair, and tell stories relating to the theme to highlight the importance of reading. You may see parades with students dressed as their favourite book character. We are so looking forward to this time of the year! More information and details will be provided next term.
Also taking place in Term 3, will be the announcement of the winner of the 2021 Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year Awards – this will take place just prior to the Book Week.
