De La Salle Holy Cross College Junior School celebrate Literacy Month.
The first of their celebrations was a Spring Reading Challenge on ‘Read a Book Day’, which was celebrated on 6 September. In this challenge, children were asked to read a book outdoors, while enjoying nature and some fresh air.
“De La Salle Holy Cross College Junior School is fortunate to have a magnificent library, with two dedicated librarians who work exceptionally hard at encouraging reading and the enjoyment of all genres”, said Jane Peall, head of English.
According to the Awareness Days website, ‘each year, 8 September marks Unesco’s International Literacy Day, raising awareness globally on the issues surrounding adult and child literacy’. For them, International Literacy Day is a day to remind world leaders, influencers and the general public of the current status of adult literacy and learning.
