Friday 7th October saw the inauguration of the English Department's new mini-libraries. These precious resources were recently installed in each English classroom and feature the entire catalogue of novels in our Extended Reading Lists. The lists are designed to encourage pupils of all abilities to read widely and voraciously for pleasure and include a vast range of both classic and contemporary fiction - everything from Dickens and Austen to Michael Morpurgo and Suzanne Collins.
The English team proudly celebrated the completion of the mini-libraries with a ceremony featuring a beautiful opening number sung by the talented Anna Argyrou (winner of Greece's 'The Voice' 2021), followed by a staff-led dramatic sketch which was accompanied by a range of superb dramatic readings from some of the featured novels, all expertly delivered by our pupils (please see names below). The ceremony was attended by key St Lawrence College stakeholders and was enjoyed by all.
The English Department would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all involved.
