A wonderful range of literary games and activities were enjoyed as we celebrated Book Week.
The amazing creativity of our students was on full display, not only through costumes but also our Dress-a-Duck challenge. What seemed to be a somewhat impossible task of dressing a rubber duck as a literary character turned out to inspire remarkable problem solving.
From Rapunzel to Pennywise the Clown, students rose to the challenge. Our shameless shredding of novels proved once again to be a favourite puzzle while trivia participants learnt that Dorothy’s shoes in Oz were in fact silver in the original novel.
Our junior campuses also enjoyed Book Zoom and Book Bingo. Staff wore mini book covers of favourite reads and reports of many sparked conversations have reached us.
The library team would like to thank everyone who joined us in this annual celebration. It wouldn’t be a success without you all. We congratulate the following costume winners for their stellar efforts.
