We will be celebrating Book Week in Week 5 this term and everyone is feeling excited!

The 2025 theme ‘Book An Adventure’ encourages readers to explore the exciting worlds within books, much like embarking on a real-life adventure. It invites students to see stories as journeys of discovery, bravery, and imagination. 

Book Week at Coniston PS is going to be a busy time with a book character dress up parade followed by a parents and families picnic lunch in our playground. Our P&C are holding a second hand book sale in the library with lots of beautiful pre-loved children’s books to buy along with bookmarks and surprises too.  Our younger students in Years K-2 are going to be entertained by a visiting puppet show entertainer and a graphic novel illustrator is coming to present an exciting workshop to our 3-6 students! 

Please join us at school during Book Week for all the fun!

Thursday 21 August
