We are happy to announce the start of a new reading challenge:
The Carnegie Winner Carousel!
How to participate? It’s easy! Read four Carnegie Medal winners from the 86 available and win a prize upon completion of a mini book review each.
If you read fifteen Carnegie winners before the summer, you will win a GRAND PRIZE!
Look out for the yellow stickers on the spines of the Collège library books and start reading today!
Kaia, Roman, Shreeya and Myla were jumping for joy upon receiving their certificates and their books for winning the Conquer the Classics competition. Even more so as they got to choose their book prizes. Congratulations to you all!
Two Lycée students; Lara and Skye, have been volunteering in the Anglophone Collège library since the start of the school year. They help to catalogue and cover all new books and keep the library looking spick and span. This goes to show that the love of books transcends schools! Thank you for your commitment and dedication!

The Anglophone Section would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Lara in 3ème for being the very first student to complete this year’s Anglophone Reading Bingo.

As temperatures are dropping, curling up with a good book seems to be the right thing to do. To further encourage reading, the Collège reading challenge has just been launched.
The 6emes have been busy this term: writing a character analysis, an autobiography from a character’s point of view and improving their SPaG! What a great start to college!
