‘Reading Is Magic!’ Book Week Parade
Amongst a Hogwarts Hall full of Harry’s, the true wizards of Book Week were the parents (partnering with their young assistants), to conjure their favourite characters into reality with creativity and hours of costume crafting. The Junior School Book Week Parade transformed the Rock Centre stage into a magic storybook world, where children had the chance to step into the shoes of their literary heroes—with a few cheeky footy players huddled together in the mix.
