What an incredible Book Week we had! Our school was buzzing with excitement as students, staff and families embraced the joy of books, stories and imagination as we celebrated the wonderful world of stories together.

A huge highlight was welcoming Danny Snell, a local and award-winning illustrator, who wowed students with his creative process. He showed how a simple sketch can grow into a finished picture book, and even shared some drawing tricks; the students were buzzing with inspiration!

The excitement continued all week with lunchtime activities that had the library packed every day. From hands-on fun to the thrilling Guess the Book Riddle Competition, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The week concluded with a highlight for many - our Book Parade on Friday; what a spectacular finale! It was a sea of colour, with students excitedly stepping into the shoes of their favourite characters - animals, wizards, superheroes and more. The creativity and effort in the costumes were truly outstanding.

To top it all off, we were delighted to welcome parents and community members to a special morning tea in the library. It was a wonderful way to wrap up the week and celebrate our shared love of reading.

A BIG thank you to our students, staff, parents and community for making this Book Week another memorable event. Your enthusiasm, support and creativity brought the adventures of books to life!

Here’s to another year of stories, imagination and adventures from the pages of every book.

Visit your Local Library

This year, our local library, Blackwood Library and Mitcham Memorial Library again gave schools an opportunity to take part in a fun activity for Book Week. Three of Coro’s classes, 1P, 2OT and 4B, participated in this fun activity and each produced a creative story and piece of artwork.

In celebration, the libraries are hosting an exhibition of the books written by children from our local schools. You may like to take the opportunity to go along and have a look at these imaginative and adventurous tales! They will be on display in both libraries from the 16th September to 10th November, during opening hours.
