St Teresa’s School recently hosted a vibrant celebration of literature with its annual Character Day, a highlight of the school’s Book Week festivities.
Learners brought beloved literary characters to life on this special day, showcasing their creativity and enthusiasm for reading.
The halls of St Teresa’s were transformed into a colourful array of characters from classic and contemporary literature. From the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss to the magical realms of Harry Potter, learners embraced the opportunity to embody their favourite book personas.
The event not only provided a platform for self-expression but also fostered a deeper appreciation for reading and storytelling. Through their costumes and presentations, learners demonstrated their connection to the characters and the stories that have captured their imaginations.
Teachers and staff also joined in the fun, enhancing the sense of community. Seeing educators participate alongside learners emphasised the importance of literacy and creativity in the school culture.
Character Day served as a reminder of the power of literature to inspire and unite. As learners paraded through the school, their costumes sparking conversations and sharing their love for literature, it was evident that books can transport us to different worlds and ignite our imagination.
