Book swap stands will be set up in the libraries throughout the day.

📖 Match the Staff to Their Favourite Book – Competition
New this year, we’re launching a "Match the Staff to Their Favourite Book" competition!
How does it work?
Staff members are invited to share their favourite book, either the best book they’ve read this year or their all-time favourite.
Students will try to match each staff member to their book, earning house points for every correct guess.
Staff can participate too—those who correctly match the most books will win house points as well!
This is a great way to spark students’ curiosity and encourage them to read more. We invite staff to choose engaging, age-appropriate books for our students.
✨ Stay Tuned!
More information will follow in the coming weeks.
We can’t wait to see the whole school come together to celebrate books, imagination, and the joy of reading!
