Somerset Storyfest may be over again for another year, but there are some exciting events coming up throughout the remaining terms:

Our Junior Reader’s cup team will be off to Gin Gin at the end of term, with the senior team competition being help in Kepnock next term.

We will be inducting our new batch of Literary Ambassadors, these eager students will be assisting the staff of the literary committee with a student perspective.

From now until the last day of Book Week on 22 August, which is also the date of our First Draft writer’s event, students can read some fabulous library books and submit reviews. Come in to the library to claim your passport to record your books and be in with a great chance to win some awesome rewards.

Book week and First Draft will converge in the week 18 - 22 August with First Draft set to take on a slightly altered format.

As always, Chess club convenes in Beerarlem every Tuesday over the entire lunch period, and the newly formed Manga Art Club is at lunch time on Thursdays.

Mr Church has kindly offered to come to the library from 3:15-4:15 on Monday afternoons from 12 May to host a Book Club ‘BYOB with GC’. This is not an official SCASA event so it is completely free.

I am happy to see that the new merged (Junior & Senior) library has been successful, if not a little squishy, and the seniors (yrs 10-12) seem to enjoy having their little private room with the senior fiction books – I only wish I could have given them more space, maybe someday soon...?
