As part of our World Book Day celebrations last week, students took part in a fun Book Cover Challenge! Teachers around the school were wearing book front covers and blurbs, and students had the task of finding them and correctly matching the cover to the blurb. It was great to see students carefully reading the clues and searching the school to spot each book! We received lots of fantastic entries, but a special congratulations goes to Alia in Year 7, who was our winner! Well done to everyone who took part it's been wonderful to see so much enthusiasm for books and reading throughout the week!

Our World Book Day celebrations continued last week with a fantastic Book Swap event! Students brought in pre-loved books from home and exchanged them for something "new to them." It was wonderful to see the excitement as everyone browsed the selection, carefully choosing their next great read. The Book Swap was a brilliant way to share stories, recycle much-loved books, and spread the joy of reading even further. Even better, many students stepped outside their usual choices and picked up something completely different to try. Happy reading all!
