As part of Book Week 2012 (5th – 9th March), the school will set up a book fair for pupils to choose and purchase books from. We have taken into account feedback from parents and pupils and this year, instead of using Travelling Books, we have decided to use Scotia Books instead. The advantage of organising the book sales through Scotia is that pupils will be able to decide which books to sell at the fair.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO CHOOSES TO TAKE PART!
Closing Date for entries: Friday 10th February in the pocket on the DHT office door
