Today we celebrated CBCA Book Week with our annual Book Week Parade, embracing this year's theme, Symphony of Stories. It was wonderful to see our students proudly showcasing a wonderful range of creative costumes inspired by their favourite books and characters. Staff also joined in the fun, dressing as characters from the Wizard of Oz!

A big thank you to families for supporting students with their costumes and helping to celebrate storytelling and reading. What a fantastic way to celebrate the joy and wonder that books bring to our lives! ✨📖

Our K-2 students were excited to take part in Ditto's Keep Safe Adventure Show yesterday, presented by Bravehearts.
The show covered essential personal safety skills using age-appropriate language, song, and dance.
‘Ditto’s 3 Rules’ are:
💜We all have the right to feel safe with people.
💜It’s ok to say NO if you feel unsafe or unsure.
💜Nothing is so yucky that you can’t tell someone about it.
