I find the holidays a great time to relax with a good book, it might be something that requires you to think, and the holiday gives your brain some space, or it might be something light to enhance the relaxation of a holiday.

Some of our students regard reading as a chore not something to be done for fun, yet reading for pleasure has many wellbeing and educational benefits.

We allow our students to borrow books from the library over the breaks and even in the summer holidays (if they have no outstanding overdues) because we would love them to be reading for recreation.

Now is also a good time to have a look around the house and return to the school any library books or text books that have been lying around and are no longer in use, so other students can have the benefit of them.
