Readers' & Writers' Week 2022 has finally come to an end.  Today the school was filled with White Rabbits, Dalmations, Oompa Loompas, Greasers, Socs, Lorex, and a variety of Little Miss and Mr Men characters to name but a few.  Students had talks from some really entertaining speakers - Dermot Bolger, Dave Rudden, Niall de Burca, Amanda Cassidy, James Butler and Laura Woods.  We also got to return to some of our R&W Week favourites including Spelling Bees, The Great Book Bake Off, literary quizzes and scavenger hunts and art competitions.  Well done to the 3rd Years who organised a bake sale in aide of MS Readthon.  A huge thank you goes to librarian, Ms Morrissey who masterminded the whole week!  Please follow the WellRead Committee on Twitter @WellReadFoxrock for all things books at Loreto College Foxrock.
