Diggers Rest Primary School came alive this week as students and staff celebrated the magic of reading during the annual Book Week Parade and activities.
The much-loved parade saw every class dress up as their favourite book characters, filling the basketball court with colour, creativity, and plenty of excitement.
From the Wiggles and superheroes to classic storybook figures, the costumes reflected the wide range of books students love to read.
Following the parade, students joined in special multi-aged activities designed to bring the whole school together and promote the joy of reading and storytelling, with the prep students teaming up with their grade 6 buddies.
The younger students delighted in the support and encouragement of their older peers, while the grade 6 students showed leadership and care as they guided their buddies through reading-based activities.
The school’s literacy learning specialist Ben Payton said the event was a wonderful way to showcase the school’s commitment to fostering a lifelong love of reading.
“Book Week is about more than just dressing up – it’s about celebrating the stories that inspire us and sharing the joy of reading together as a whole school.”
