Appin Park Primary School Favourite characters To help celebrate Book Week, students and staff came to school dressed as favourite individuals from books they have read or listened to. Harry Potter was still a strong representative amongst the many students, along with fairies, Minecraft and Pokemon figures, sporting heroes and many other easily identifiable book characters. The parent community were out in force, enjoying the parade, supporting all the students and undoubtedly getting their creative juices sparked, ready for the next dress up day. Developing a love of reading is important, and allowing students to have the chance to be their favourite character for a short time, helps to bring books alive. * Cathedral College Wangaratta 100 days of prep Students enjoyed celebrating the milestone of the first 100 days of prep.
