St Leo the Great Primary School in Altona North celebrated the end of Book Week 2025 with a costume parade on Friday, August 22.
Celebrated nationwide from August 16 to 23, book week is the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s (CBCA) key annual highlight, featuring activities like colouring competitions, treasure hunts and dress-up story times.
Staff and students at St Leo’s took part in the latter on Friday morning, drawing inspiration from this year’s book week theme ‘Book an Adventure’, to dress up in creative costumes and then parade them at a special assembly held in the school hall.
Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski went along to capture the colour and creativity of the book inspired costumes.
