Ginger the Craziest Cay in the World
Two of our ex-students, Emma and Dawn, recently attended our Assembly to be presented with the final product of a picture story book project they have been working on with Ms Hong.
Emma wrote this story back in 2018 whilst in Ms Hong's Grade 3 class. Last year she approached Dawn to add illustrations. We then had a printing firm publish it in a professional format.
There is a copy on display in the Office, copies in the school Library and in every classroom library.
We take immense pride in both of these exceptionally talented students and the fantastic book they have produced.
