The TY Library prefects are organising this year's World Book Day book swap sale in aid of St Michael's House on Tuesday 10th March. We need books! Students are all being asked to bring in at least two books. Parents/guardians are invited too! The TYs will be serving delicious juices and smoothies as a 'Booky Breakfast'!

Tuesday, 10th March is also Purim. Students and staff will all be dressing up as their favourite literary person!

Purim, the "Festival of Lots" commemorates the events which took place in the Persian royal city of Susa, Shushan in Hebrew, during the reign of King Achashverosh (thought to be Artaxerxes).

Let the fun begin...!
