Jam in the Junction
Students showcased their musical talents in a special Book Week edition of Jam in the Junction, aligning beautifully with the theme Symphony of Stories. Performances ranged from soulful vocals to instrumental brilliance, creating a vibrant atmosphere outside the library.
Scavenger Hunt
The library was buzzing as students raced to solve clues hidden among shelves, displays, and reading nooks. It was fast-paced, competitive, chaotic and full of laughter.
Book Parade
To close the week, the Book Parade brought colour, creativity, and plenty of laughter. Year 12 students and staff truly outdid themselves — costumes ranged from classic characters to modern favourites, with remarkable attention to detail. A heartfelt thank you to all students and staff who participated throughout Book Week. Your enthusiasm made the week unforgettable. A special thank you to the Academic and Cultural Captains for their leadership and energy, and to Mrs Assenheim for her invaluable behind-the-scenes support.
