The National Book Week theme for 2022 is ‘’Choose Your Destiny – Read”.
Lihir International school joined schools around the country in the first week of August for a series of fun and educational activities to celebrate National Book Week. It featured a costume parade by primary school students who dressed up in their favorite book characters.
The Upper primary and high school students also participated in a Book Week writing competition.
Lihir International school is situated in the Londolovit township of Lihir, New Ireland and provides quality education for children from residential families working for Newcrest Mining, its business partners and community groups.
Speaking at the parade, organizer Mrs Elizabeth Daimoi encouraged the students to read a variety of books including both fiction and non-fiction books.
‘’Develop the habit of reading – it will help you make wide decisions on your lives and the kind of person you want to be in future.” Mrs Daimoi told the students.
National Book Week is an annual event that encourages schools to focus on reading and its importance. Lihir International School places a strong emphasis on reading and provides opportunities for reading through an easily accessible library.
The school also runs whole class, groups and one-on-one reading sessions that ensure students receive appropriate help to improve and enhance their reading.
