What’s Coming Up With NZ Book Month: Starting 19 March: “The Great NZ Book Race”
Starting this Monday 19th, students from Katikati College (Bay of Plenty) and Papanui College (Christchurch) will be supporting their local writers by reading, reviewing, and then passing on books, from person to person until they reach the other school by the end of Term Three.
