Book week

Each year the CBCA has brought children and books together across Australia through Book Week. During this time schools spend one glorious week celebrating books. This year the theme was ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’. The students enjoyed dressing up for book week this term as their favourite book character.
