8. Future of Bookcase
We are looking for S6 pupils to develop and lead an exciting  project at Hermitage Academy. By collecting books and fundraising then at the end of the year we will visit the school to see how the books are being used.  Pupils will volunteer in Highlands Primary School for 10 days. Assisting the teacher and leading a book club where pupils discuss books they have read or work one-to-one with pupils to help them develop their English reading skills.
The pupils will be staying in Livingstone and as this is in close proximity to the Victoria Falls there will be the opportunity to visit one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and explore the local area. Then at the weekend they will visit Botswana (a neighbouring country) to go on a two-day safari. Which will give them the opportunity to see a vast amount of wild animals in their natural habitat.
