Book Week 2021
It was a very different Book Week in 2021 within the Blended Learning Environment, still, we managed to do lots of activities, run competitions and have a parade of characters for students and staff. The theme this year was “Old Worlds, New Words, Other Worlds”
Each day there was a very hotly contested homeroom quiz based on the Book Week theme and the final results were: 1st McCarthy, 2nd Champagnet, 3rd Mercy and 4th Tracey.
Students were encouraged to wear their book character outfits to the Pastoral Care on Thursday.
The winners were: Beckett Albert, Tyler Donohue and Miles Jack.
On Friday at our weekly Staff Afternoon Tea, many teachers also dressed up as their favourite characters.
The Bento Box Book Challenge was the major competition for students in Book Week. Students were asked to take a photo of their favourite book and arrange items around it that symbolised events, characters, themes etc in the novel.
Congratulations to Savannah Cheney and Lynai Cotterill who jointly won this competition
All students who won prizes will receive them when we return from Blended Learning. Once again thanks to everyone at McAuley that made this a very memorable Book Week.
