The “Libraries LYT up lives” program concluded with a remarkable visit from writer Graeme Armstrong to our school library on April 22nd. Armstrong shared powerful firsthand stories about overcoming gang culture, highlighting the transformative power of literature.

After the presentation, students had the opportunity to engage directly with the writer and even borrow his book. Such was the demand that all copies of his books available in the library were swiftly taken, necessitating the creation of a waiting list. This clear demonstration of interest underscores the profound impact of his session on our S3 pupils.

They were captivated throughout, rating the event a resounding 10/10!
