World Book Day March 2014
To celebrate World Book Day, S1 pupils dressed up as their favourite characters from books and films for a fun afternoon in the theatre taking part in the inter-house Big Book Quiz.
House teams battled it out over six rounds, with Gleneagles eventually winning the glory and those all-important 100 House Points!
Fancy dress winners were also presented with certificates and prizes – with 1st place going to Aimee Logan dressed as a Flapper from “The Great Gatsby”.
Well done S1! Click here to see more pictures from the day
