Book Exhibition

On Friday, 13 December, Ms Maria Geleklidis, held her annual book exhibition in our library. All classes from Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9 were taken across to the library, during their English lesson where they could look at all the books on display. Ms Geleklidis also read to the Grade 7s and the Grade 8s. 

We would also like to thank Ms Geleklidis for her very generous donations of books for each English teacher's classroom. Great use is made of these books during our weekly Reading lesson.
