The launch kicked off a week of activities that saw students taking part in a spelling bee competition, public speaking, an exhibition, as well as having visits from community members.

Monday’s launching also saw the presentation of trophies and certificates to winners and participants in the school’s Read-A-Thon.

The top three winners: Keron Knights, Brensley Bacchus and Mekel Glasgow were awarded with trophies.

The school’s Literacy Coordinator Anna Barnwell-Primus, speaking to Searchlight, indicated that the week of activities is usually a highly successful event that motivates students to read more. The students were encouraged to read for fun, enjoyment and meaning.
