Junior School students celebrated Numeracy and Literacy Week 2017 with various fun and interactive activities throughout the week. Amongst the highlights were the
BOOK CHARACTER PARADE
The ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ hosted a Storybook Character Parade for all Junior School students which turned out to be a huge hit and success with both the students, parents and staff. Students who were dressed as a Storybook Character took part in the parade with their classes.
It was absolutely fantastic to see so many students and teachers participate in the parade, dressed up as super heroes, princesses, Star Wars troopers, Alice in Wonderland, Lilo&Stitch, The Story Treehouse, The Lorex, Lego Ninjago, and many many more.
