Well Read
This year Rosary College is aiming to achieve the Well Read National Award. This award is about creating and fostering an environment of reading, in all its forms, throughout the school community – teachers, students, parents and the wider community. Throughout the school year we will develop and run various reading initiatives. All initiatives will be updated on the website as we complete them. In May 2016 we the committee will submit a portfolio to Well Read for evaluation. If we succeed in our aims a plaque will be awarded in the autumn of 2016. This will be displayed on the front of the school and we can call ourselves a well read school. A school that embraces a culture of reading will automatically promote and raise all areas of literacy.
