TERM 1 - MONDAY 2 FEBRUARY - THURSDAY 2 APRIL
Monday 30th March – Thursday 2nd April
Leaves are falling, and it’s the perfect time to catch the reading bug! Our school is excited to celebrate our annual Book Week—a week full of fun, learning, and adventures through stories.
Throughout the week, students will be able to test their knowledge with daily 
quizzes, guess how many bugs are in the jar, showcase their creativity in the window display competition, and take part in the magical book character parade, where favourite characters leap from the page and come to life.
We are also lucky enough to have a visit by Fifi Colston, on Monday 30th March, to talk to the whole school. Fifi Colston has had a varied career as writer, illustrator, poet, wearable arts designer, and costume props maker for the film & television industry. She is an award-winning junior-fiction novelist and illustrator of more than 30 children’s books, Her visit is provided free by the New Zealand Book Council with the support of Read NZ programmes.
Whether you’re a budding bookworm or a seasoned story explorer, there’s something for everyone. Book Week encourages imagination, creativity, and the joy of reading—helping students develop a love of books that can last a lifetime.
