The Junior School Students' Book Week Parade will take place this Friday, 23 August between 09.00 – 10.00 am in the Collegians Centre. Parents who wish to attend are encouraged to park at UC and walk across to the College.

In the lead up to Book Week, students from Pre-K to Year 4 were entertained with a performance called Maybe A Miracle from Perform Education. The performance was an interactive magical musical bringing to life some of the Children’s Book Council Shortlisted picture books for 2024.

The two performers had the students dancing, drawing and doing the Mexican wave as they travelled through a day in Charlie, the main character’s life. Charlie discovered how special books are, as he met some of the book characters, and was taught to look for everyday miracles in the small things.
