Book Week 2025 – An Adventure from Start to Finish! ✨📚

Book Week 2025 began with a fun-filled author/illustrator visit from a favourite regular guest at SAC, Andrew Joyner. Andrew shared inspiration, enthusiasm and encouragement with our Year Six students, with many fantastic self-portraits created during the session. There were lots of special activities over the course of the week; a fun lunchtime adventure with passports and stamps hidden around the school, a Literary Quiz for secondary students with a record number of enthusiastic participants, and of course, our much-loved annual bookmark competition. Year 5s and 6s booked flights on an Amazing Race, Year 3s and 4s journeyed on a ‘Ticket to Read’ scavenger hunt, and Reception to Year 2 went on a Sensory Safari. The highlight of the week is always the fun, excitement and colour of the Book Week Parade. This year was no exception with some spectacular costumes worn with big Book Week smiles! We are thrilled that students participated with joy in Book Week celebrations and shared their love of reading as we all embraced the theme of ‘Book an Adventure’ in 2025!

This year’s theme, ‘Book an Adventure’, was certainly embraced to the fullest ✨❤️ enjoy the highlights video!
