Book Week – Book an Adventure!

Last week was CBCA’s Book Week. All across Australia, students dressed up as their favourite book characters, but here at Horsham College, we decided to take students on a different kind of adventure – a mystery read!

Fifty adventure books were wrapped in brown paper bags, each with a unique find-a-word puzzle inside. Students could “choose their own adventure” by borrowing a mystery bag, completing the puzzle, and returning it to the library for either an instant win canteen voucher or a chance in the second chance draw.

There were 15 canteen vouchers up for grabs, ranging in value from $2 to $10.✨ A special thanks goes out to Tanya at HC’s canteen, who generously donated all fifteen vouchers! ✨
