McAuley House

McAuley House is a school in Johannesburg with students from Grade R to Grade 12. The school recently renovated their library, but only had old books, with no funds to get more books. They desperately needed new books and were very happy to receive ABCA books for their library in September 2022.

The Grade 2 students were excited to see the new books and asked the librarian to keep the books for them to read for when they next visited the library. The matriculation students also wanted to keep the books they saw in the boxes!

The librarian, Lilly, does excellent work in encouraging the students to read. There is a ‘Bookflix’ poster with pictures of recommended books, and students write book reviews which get attached to the books. The students also discuss books in groups and help each other with words they don’t understand.

It was a pleasure for ABCA to assist with the culture of reading at the school!
