Library Heroes

Since our full time return it has been business as usual for the library, students have been eager to borrow books and reading has never been more popular. Making sure students could order and receive books while following restrictions, we set up an order and delivery service. Helping to make all this work have been our fantastic group of library monitors. Each form was assigned a monitor who volunteered to help order, deliver and collect books.They have taken their duties very
seriously and as a result the library has lent out over a 1,000 books and counting. They are our true heroes of the library going above and beyond what has been asked of them.

MSM Read-Cycle

Since its launch in September 2019, MSM Read-Cycle has continued to expand and now includes over 600 second-hand books, all containing reviews by staff and students. Books are donated to the library (or bought from charity shops with money raised in school) and all books are either reviewed and placed in the library or given away to the community in our ‘free books’ stalls. Almost 200 books were given away to students at our Year 6 induction day! This sustainable approach not only provides books for our school community, but it reduces our carbon footprint and impact on the environment. If you wish to be involved in this project, either donating or reviewing books, please contact Miss Evans.

During the Lockdown many of us Year 7’s have worked hard on google classroom and stayed resilient through these bizarre times. World Book Day was a focus throughout the ½ term whilst learning at home and once returned to Mount St Mary’s. Year 7 students demonstrated their creative talents from face painting, decorating eggs and even baking cakes as their favourite book characters! This culminated on the final day of term in a Retribuam Challenge to all Year 7 students and staff who responded AMAZINGLY; Over 160 students Dressed up as Where’s Wally, it was fantastic to see a sea of red, white and blue topped with a Wooley hat! Well Done Year 7 what a team effort!
