NOVEL KNOCKOUT 2017

Novel Knockout, a reading competition organised by the English Department in collaboration with the Senior School library, was flagged-off on Tuesday 28th March in the library Mazzanine with a presentation, discussion and activities in connection with the novel ‘Good Night Mr Tom’ to year 7 and 8 students.

The aim of this challenge is to encourage students to read a wider range of novels and to create an interest in  some tried and tested favourites such as Roald Dahl’s “Boy”, David Almond’s “Skellig”  and James Vance Marshall’s  “Walkabout”  by re-circulating them among students.  The finalists of this Knockout will face-off each other in an exciting quiz to  be held on 16th May,  to coincide with Book Week.
