Classic characters paraded through the school including Blinky Bill and Mulga Bill as well as some fantastic lamington and vegemite jar costumes.

The colourful event was a celebration of the life of former librarian Kerri Parkes who died in a car accident in August.

Mrs Parkes had planned book week activities several weeks before her death and the parade was postponed to give the school community time to grieve. Teacher Austen Logan said the mood among students, teachers and parents during the parade was "jubilant”.

“It was built as a celebration and the atmosphere matched,” Mr Logan said. “It was fantastic to see of the kids dressed up.”
