πŸ“šβœ¨ Book Week at Santa Sophia – Book an Adventure! βœ¨πŸ“š At Santa Sophia Catholic College, Book Week is all about sparking imagination, nurturing growth, and celebrating the joy of stories. πŸ’œ One of the highlights last week has been our Buddy Reading, where our older Connect and Challenge students read with our younger Curiosity learners. 🌟 These moments capture the heart of who we are at Santa Sophiaβ€”a community where students learn, lead, and grow together. From little ones listening wide-eyed, to older students stepping up as mentors, Buddy Reading reminds us how books can connect us across ages and stages. πŸ“–πŸ’« Book Week gives us a special chance to shine a spotlight on children’s literature while bringing families, schools, and communities together in the love of reading. And at Santa Sophia, that love of learning is what we’re all about. πŸ’œ #BookWeek2025 #BookAnAdventure #SantaSophiaSpirit
