Over the last few weeks, our Year 7 and 8 students have been participating in a wide reading program and making the most of the new books we’ve purchased. So far, it seems that the novels written by famous sportspeople and comedians are among the most popular. They’ve also been writing a short reflection each day, which is helping to build their higher-order thinking skills. Take a few minutes over the weekend to ask your child what they’ve been reading :  even a five minute conversation can help to reaffirm that literacy is valued not only at the College, but also at home.
