The lunch bunch
In 2019, we started the books@breakfast book club,聽a student-run club聽that met聽once a term before school to discuss a book, chosen by the club the previous term.
Books included Nic Stone鈥檚 "Dear Martin",聽Stephen Chbosky鈥檚 "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", David Levithan鈥檚 "Every Day" and Matthew Reilly鈥檚 "The Secret Runners of New York". These stories with teen protagonists are poignant and provide a way for students to build empathy and emotional intelligence through their common experience of reading the same book.
In 2020, the club became聽The Lunch Bunch, with students meeting once a term over lunch to discuss books such as the popular "Dear Evan Hansen" or Trent Dalton鈥檚 "Boy Swallows Universe".
