Uniting Red Chair & Book Week
This past week, our Primary School organised a variety of activities which combined the Educate Magis’ Global Red Chair Project, launched in 2017, and the SDG4 (the right to quality education and global citizenship).
Our Primary School’s Student Council prepared the interactive video (see below) to help the whole school focus on the value and uniqueness of, as well as the joy and excitement that is contained in books. It highlights the right to read and write.
