Shine Project
The Shine Reading Project is back!!!
This year see's the return of the Shine Reading Project for selected students in Yr7, 8 & 9. Sessions will now run on Tuesdays session 1 for Year 8, Wednesday Session 1&2 for Year 7, and session 3 for Year 8 and a reading group with Nikki Elsom for Year 9 session 3. All sessions will take place in the Discovery Centre. Names of students selected will be circulated in due course.
Please continue to support this project by allowing students to leave your lesson as we have volunteers who give up their time to come in to have the students read to them.
If you have some spare time (even 20 mins) during the above sessions and would like to volunteer and have a student read to you please contact Marie Samuels.
