Book Week 2025 was a joyful celebration of stories, imagination, and community spirit at Glenaeon.  From Class 3 to Year 12, students stepped into the pages of their favourite books, arriving at school dressed as beloved literary characters or in mufti. The creativity on display—from wizards and warriors to detectives and dragons—brought a spark of fun to the day, filling our campus with colour and laughter.

A highlight of the week was The Great Book Swap, where students donated and exchanged hundreds of pre-loved books. For every $2 coin, our community helped raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, supporting vital literacy programs in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Our Primary Assembly was another standout moment. Each class paraded their costumes, and Class 6 performed a delightful skit. Adding to the fun, the teachers of Classes 3–6 - including Lucy and Dani - acted out a traditional Indian tale, The Monkey and the Hats. Prue, Rodney, and Dani starred as three cheeky monkeys stealing hats from a hat maker, sparking roars of laughter from students and staff alike.

Throughout the day, classes participated in a DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) session which encouraged students to pause, pick up a book, and enjoy a quiet moment of reading. This initiative supports literacy development, student choice, and strengthens our identity as a community of readers.

Together, we raised $705 for the ILF—a wonderful achievement that reflects the generosity and enthusiasm of our students and families. You can still donate here.

A heartfelt thank you to Librarian, Primary Faculty Coordinator and Teacher, Lucy Armstrong for masterfully bringing Book Week together. Our thanks also to everyone who donated books, contributed funds, and dressed up with such imagination. Book Week 2025 was truly a celebration to remember!
