Readers & Writers Week 2009

PDFPrint

Today, (22nd May 2009) we marked the success of Readers & Writers Week with a celebration in the library to which all prizewinners and committee members were invited. I would like to congratulate all students who entered any of the competitions and thank you for your efforts. Judging in all competitions was a difficult job but winners were eventually chosen. 

A very big thank you to the student committee who were of invaluable help throughout.

And I am very grateful to our Parents/School Association for their generous sponsorship of the event for the third year in a row. Many thanks - it makes all the difference!
