Debbie Vercoe —

Book Week's 'Great Escape' was a great success

Students from the Book Gang decided on the themes and worked hard behind the scenes to provide posters, competitions, puzzles, quizzes, kahoots and displays to celebrate books and encourage reading for pleasure.

And the Interhouse Literary Quiz, more details on that next week.

Many students have entered in the competitions and the PTSA Reading Challenge entries are looking great.

Overall, it has been a busy and enjoyable time in the Library and a great experience for the students, in planning and running events.

Well done, Book Gang! Mission accomplished.
