Book Week
The theme is "Book an Adventure!".
Children's Book Week 2025 will be held from August 16th to 23rd.
This year is a milestone year as we celebrate 80 years of Children’s Book Week! For 8 decades, CBCA has been dedicated to inspiring young minds to journey through the countless worlds that books offer. Jess McGeachin is an award-winning Australian picture book illustrator, he has captured the adventurous spirit in his imaginative artwork. Jess’ illustration invites young readers to embark on fantastical journeys, inspiring them to travel through the worlds that books open up. Jess’ work encourages children to imagine, explore, and create their own adventures.
Dress-up Day
Friday 22nd August
For Book Week, students can dress up as a variety of characters from books, or even dress up as a word. Popular choices always include characters from classic fairytales like Cinderella or Little Red Riding Hood, or figures from much loved children's stories like Alice in Wonderland or Harry Potter. You can explore fantasy worlds with dragons or mythical creatures.
