BOOK CLUB

Every fortnight faces new and old come together, along with the wonderful Mrs Gibbs and Mrs Robertson, to talk about our love of reading. With lollies and Tim Tams to fuel us, we discuss, disagree about, and debate various topics such as which are the best villains, best book-to-movie adaptations, best romances, and even books that we love to hate. Mrs Gibbs and Mrs Robertson never fail to provide us with enthralling recommendations for novels that many of us now hold dearly as we, in return, give each other recommendations for our ever growing ‘to read’ lists.

In Book Club we have been lucky enough to be given wonderful opportunities. A highlight was being allowed to choose new books for the library and getting a free lunch while doing so.

Clubs such as Book Club provide students of all year levels a chance to come together and bond over shared interests, leading to friendships that otherwise would not have occurred, as well as providing a nice place to eat lunch and talk about your latest read. Despite differences in opinions causing some fascinating arguments, many of us have made memories of Book Club that will stay with us long after we leave the school.
