Book Week is celebrated in schools across Australia in a bid to bring children and books together. Each year, the campaign cycles through different themes, which stoke creativity and initiative in students. This year’s theme was, “Find Your Treasure”.
Students across all grades sported outlandish costumes to showcase their favourite book characters at the parade.

From the Rainbow Coloured Fish to Where’s Wally to Hulk, students left no creative stone unturned.
Though the praise doesn’t go just to the students, but also the parents who helped to bring the book characters to life in the many brightly coloured and out-of-this-world costumes.
Father Byron Phillips said he spent more than two months working on his daughter’s mouse outfit.
With the parade now over and the next Book Week a year away, that should leave parents and children plenty of ample time to work on their next costumes.
