Holy Innocents' Primary School Book Week Parade 2026
Dear Families,
We have been invited to participate in Holy Innocents' Primary School's Book Week Parade. Children are encouraged to attend dressed as their favourite book character and participate in a range of fun and engaging activities at Holy Innocents' Primary School.
Participating in the parade offers the Kinder children a valuable opportunity to connect with the wider school community, celebrate a love of reading, and experience the excitement of a shared event. Attending the parade can also help foster confidence, social skills and a sense of belonging, while inspiring children's imagination and creativity through exposure to a variety of stories and characters.
