The DEARs competition is an initiative to encourage students in Years 7 - 9 to Drop Everything And Read during Homeroom. Students can submit one sentence reviews of the books they read in return for an entry to win prizes during Literacy and Numeracy Week, and each entry is also a point for their House - with the DEARs House Cup Trophy up for grabs.

With the conclusion of Literacy and Numeracy Week this year, the winning House for the 2021/2022 DEARS Cup Trophy is Kenny (who have won it three times in the last four years!). We had over 130 entries in total, and considering we were remote learning for a good portion of the latter half of last year, this is a great result.

Congratulations to the following students who submitted the most entries for their House, and won a $15 QBD Bookshop voucher: Hannah T, Libby M, Charlotte D and Mia C.

Also, congratulations to our five lucky draw prize winners, who also received a QBD Bookshop voucher : Simra B, Vivianne M, Lily H, Caitlin R and Sophia S.
