This term we commenced "Journey" a book club comprising of both staff and students.
Our first fantasy novel selected by the group is called Dark Rise by C.S Pacat.
Here is the synopsis:
THE DARK WILL RISE. WHO WILL FALL? WHO WILL STAND?
The ancient world of magic is no more. Its heroes are dead, its halls are ruins, and its great battles between Light and Dark are forgotten. Only the Stewards remember. For centuries they have kept vigil, sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns.
'... a YA fantasy that begins breathlessly and rarely lets up ... Dark Rise is perfect for fans of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo or The Cruel Prince by Holly Black.' Books+Publishing
'Pacat knows how to build worlds that draw readers in. Will is on an epic quest and Pacat is making sure readers feel invested in [their] characters...the hooks are in deep.' Sydney Morning Herald
The book club will be meeting for our discussion with a pizza lunch in Week 9.
Stay tuned for our next read in Term 1 2024. It’s not too late to put your name for the next book and join.
Students have enjoyed participating in the Hangout at lunch this term. A number of activities were available including: Board Games, Chess, Cards, Lego, Bingo, Nintendo Group Switch, where our driving skills with Mario Kart and bowling skills with Ten Pin Bowling have improved. Over the last few weeks students will also be able to create Christmas themed Art.
