Battle of the Books Competition 2023-24
Our Battle of the Books journey starts in September with weekly get togethers and ends eight months later with a Hong Kong wide competition. This year 36 schools entered. It’s a big commitment for the students and I’m impressed with their determination and good humour.
On Thursday 2nd May our team of eleven students went to Quarry Bay School to attend the semi-finals of the Battle of the Books. Our team did really well but we just missed a place in the finals by 3 points. The team was strong and they all have incredible memories. Parents, can you remember all the details from the last 20 books you’ve read? Impossible right? They are an impressive bunch, not only do they have to read all the books and remember the smallest of details, they also have to learn all the book titles and authors names with the correct pronunciation!

This is the team picking up their certificate of participation and Bookazine gift voucher from the library at the Jardine’s campus. Ishaan, Aanika and Eugenie were away.
Well done Team!! You’re all awesome!!
Can’t wait for next year!
