Bewitching stories capture the imagination in Halloween Competition

Prizes were awarded this week to the worthy winners of the English Department’s Spooky Story Competition and Library Quiz, which took place during Shimna’s annual Reading Week at the end of October.

Teachers from our English Department selected the best stories from each class, with the final judging carried out by our fantastic library team. We were delighted by the huge number of entries and the exceptionally high standard of work.

We look forward to the stories being published in the next Shimna Scoop. Congratulations to all our winners, and well done to everyone who took part.
