The books from our Participatory Budgeting session with pupils have arrived in the library! These were chosen by groups of BGE and senior pupils. They all did a great job choosing books to add to our collection.

We chose from a selection of books addressing themes of feminism, misogyny and inspirational women and novels celebrating female friendship and strong female characters. The focus of the PB session was chosen to tie in with part of the school improvement plan looking at tackling misogyny and gender-based violence.

I also added a few more titles to the list to add to our collection. These will all be on display in March as part of our International Women’s Day celebrations.
