Secondary World Book Day 2023

6th March 2023

Braeburn International School recently celebrated World Book Day with a wide range of activities that encouraged students to appreciate the power of literature in society on Friday 3rd March. The day was marked by an exciting lineup of events that catered to both primary and secondary students.

The Secondary School students took a trip back in time to the Jane Austen era from 1750-1850. They dressed up in costumes inspired by the period and participated in activities that were centred around Jane Austen's literature. The students engaged in this theme by watching one of her most influential novels in play form, ‘Pride and Prejudice.’
