Cranbourne West Primary School resembled a real-life library on Friday 28 October as students and staff dressed as their favourite characters for the annual Book Fair Parade.
All staff members dressed as Where’s Wally, making him easier to find than he is in his books, while school Principal Andrew Bergmeier dressed as Wizard Whitebeard.
Harry Potter remains an ever-popular character despite most of the student not being born when the last film was released, but Parent & Community Liaison Debbie Dodd said the books remain staunchly popular in the school library.
For the school community, it was a welcome return to pre-covid times, as the event had been cancelled in the last two years due to the pandemic.
“The students were incredibly excited to dress-up again, but even more excited to be able to invite their parents,” Ms Dodd said.
“They’re so proud when the parents can come and see what they’re doing.”
The parade coincided with the school’s annual book fair, where students are encouraged to explore books and develop wish lists of books they would like as presents.
Those deemed best dressed (two from each class) were able to choose a book of their choice as their prize.
Our very won Vicki Vale (AKA Star News Photographer STEWART CHAMBERS) attended on Friday morning to capture the action.
