World Book Day Highlights

March 10, 2026

We had a brilliant celebration of World Book Day last Thursday, with lots of activities around the school to get everyone reading and chatting about books.

Book Tokens

Students received their World Book Day tokens during tutor time and enjoyed choosing from this year’s selection of titles, or getting a discount on their own picks. We still have some spare tokens in the library on the desk for anyone to take, they are valid until the 15th! 

Staff “What I’m Reading / Listening To” Posters

Staff decorated their doors with updated posters sharing the books, audiobooks, and podcasts they’re currently enjoying—sparking plenty of great conversations throughout the week.

Bookmark Competition

Our bookmark competition returned, encouraging students (and staff!) to read, borrow, and return books. Every completed bookmark is an entry into the end‑of‑year prize draw.

Staff Book Quiz Winners

Congratulations to Mr. Coyle and Ms. Crumlish, who topped the Staff Book Quiz!
Both received National Book Tokens as their prize.

Lunchtime Kahoot Winner

Our Library Council–hosted Kahoot was a huge hit. Well done to Temperance Maguire, this year’s student champion, who also won National Book Tokens.

 

A big thank‑you to everyone who took part and helped make World Book Day a success!
