Meeting Laura Noakes

This term, Year 7 participated in a special assembly featuring Laura Noakes, the author of *Cosima*. The University of Hertfordshire generously gifted each student a copy in December 2024 as part of their outreach program aimed at encouraging Reading for Joy.

Laura shared her passion for reading and emphasised its significance in our lives. The students enjoyed a highly interactive Q&A session, where they could engage directly with her. Additionally, Laura kindly signed copies of her book for the students.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the University of Hertfordshire, especially to Laura, for dedicating her time to inspire our students.

Furthermore, the University has donated three copies of Laura's new book to the OSA library, which are now available.
