The PGS 100

by PGS Library Staff

These are just a few of our favourite books!

There were over 1500 nominations made by pupils in Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, parents and staff.  Listed here, in no particular order, are the 100 titles which received the most votes.  As the eye travels down the list, imagination begins to roam through time and place, meeting characters once known.  Why not take a look and see how many you have read?

Discussions have shown that ‘favourite’ can be interpreted in so many different ways.  12.5% of our senior school community took part and over half of these were in Year 7 and 8.  We would like thank everyone who found time to respond to our survey.  It has created an interesting snapshot in time and one that we would love to repeat in 2021.  The imagination is a hungry creature and we must feed it to grow knowledge and understanding, so keep reading!
