With books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and The Witches, to name just a few, Roald Dahl wrote memorable stories that, to this day, leave children wanting more.

So it came as no surprise when children from De La Salle Holy Cross College decided they wanted to celebrate Roald Dahl.
