This year JPSS celebrated Book Week 2025 with by Adventuring through the library, Poetry in Action theatre performances and a ‘decorate your door’ competition. Following a captivating read aloud by Mrs. Blight, our intrepid adventurers were challenged to free themselves from “The Shadow Room”, find ‘X marks the spot’ with Pirates, take a Superhero Selfie, use their memories in “Passport to Adventure” and adventure aloft with hot air balloons. Our Year 12’s even got to dress in costume for their final ever Book Week!

Poetry in Action visited us once again and took the Year 7’s on a Poet’s Quest to use poetic language in the search for love. In the Year 10 performances Riots and Rebellion, students were shown how powerful words can be in changing the world.

The classes took on the ‘decorate your door’ competition with gusto and a real competitive spirit. Doors were decorated in the themes of Jumanji, Adventure to the World Cup, Harry Potter, Where the Wild Things Are, Up and many more. With the doors being judged next week and the winners receiving a class pizza party – Yum!

We love Children’s Book Week here at JPSS and it is an integral part of the school culture with students and staff alike looking forward to it every year!
