We are delighted to be celebrating the 16th World Book Day in Ireland on Thursday 6th March 2014. Over the last 16 years World Book Day has become firmly established as Ireland’s biggest annual event promoting the enjoyment of books and reading. The main aim is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with an opportunity to have a book of their own. 


On Thursday students enjoyed a reading for pleasure experience during English class. Thanks to the generosity of National Book Tokens Ltd, publishers and booksellers, we were given Book Tokens which were distributed to each student. Students can now take their voucher to a local bookseller and can use it to pick one of eight (exclusive, new and completely free) books.


Ms O'Connell spoke through the intercom about the importance of reading the and benefits reading brings - both on a personal and academic level.


We hope the girls will find their way to enjoy the wonderful world of reading.
