Our Library staff brought Book Week to life across the entire College, sparking excitement and creativity throughout the campus. The festivities reached their peak on Friday 22 August with a lively dress-up day, complete with engaging activities and a vibrant parade in the Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students and staff alike embraced the theme with enthusiasm\u2014Wallys were spotted everywhere! From the office to the classroom, and even out in the playground, the College was awash with red-and-white stripes and playful shouts of \u201cWhere\u2019s Wally?\u201d echoing through the halls. It was a joyful celebration of literature, imagination, and community spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

A huge thank you to our Library staff for orchestrating such a memorable week and to our staff for embracing the dress up opportunity. Here’s to keeping the magic of books alive all year round!<\/span><\/p>\n
