Book Week celebrations kicked off in style at Child’s Play with staff and students donning whacky outfits from the children’s favourite stories.
Karren Canny, Bec Cowen, Caitlin Lemmon, Alexis Collins, Becck Cairns, Isabel Scherpenisse, Sarah Wilson, Krystal Murphy, Megan Prossor and Pianna Quilty get into the spirit of the week.
