NATIONAL WELLREAD AWARD
Greystones Community College was proud to formally accept the National Wellread Award this week, in recognition of a whole school initiative to drive to spread the love for reading in school over the past 3 years.
At the awards ceremony in Portlaoise, GCC students Tilly, Sadbh and Sofia had the opportunity to showcase GCC's Wellread Portfolio, the library council magazine, the One Book One School initiative and to be able to share writing extracts from our Readers & Writers Club.
The Oide Wellread National Award aims to promote the development of a reading culture in school communities because research has shown that this supports the personal and academic development of young people. The award requires the involvement of all stakeholders including students, teachers, parents, the board of management, and the wider community in reading and associated activities.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the different literacy initiatives in the school and to Ms. Birro and Ms. Puente for their leadership in this area.
