Book Week Celebrations at St Michael’s – Save the Date

The 2025 CBCA Children’s Book Week will be celebrated from 16 -23 August with this year’s theme, ‘Book an Adventure.’ The highlight of the week is our dress up day and parade, which will take place on Monday 18 August. We are also looking forward to a performance from Meerkat Productions based on the adaptation of two CBCA shortlisted books. The performance will take place on Friday 15th August.

Library classes will participate in lessons based on this year’s shortlisted picture books and young reader’s novels as we try to guess who will be awarded best in their category. We can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes and creativity on display for our parade!
