From Page to Parade: Book Week Comes Alive

This year’s Book Week at Girls Grammar was bursting with colour, creativity, and a whole lot of imagination! All week, the school was alive with stories – both on the pages and in the hallways – as students and teachers celebrated the joy of reading in style.

Each day, the library was abuzz with the Interhouse Reading Competition. Students eagerly competed to see which house could rack up the most reading points, turning every book opened into a step closer to victory. The friendly rivalry, laughter, and excitement made it clear that reading is never just about the words – it’s about sharing stories, discovering new worlds, and having fun along the way.

The week culminated in a spectacular whole school dress up and Book Week Parade. Students and teachers alike embraced their inner characters, dressing up as favourites from classic tales and modern adventures. Our Primary students stole the show in the Book Week Parade, proudly strutting their costumes for classmates, staff, and families. But the fun didn’t stop there – our Year 12 students and teachers also took to the runway, wowing the crowd with their incredible costumes and spreading plenty of smiles and laughter.

A huge thank you goes to our parents and caregivers for helping the girls get creative – your time, effort, and imagination made this week even more magical.

Book Week 2025 reminded everyone at Girls Grammar that stories are meant to be lived, shared, and celebrated – preferably with a little flair, a dash of costume sparkle, and lots of laughter!
