Pupils of Burnside High School find it difficult to take the satirist, David McPhail (right), seriously as he opens the school’s third annual book week yesterday. Activities for the week, which aims to promote the importance of reading, include the D.E.A.R. (Drop everything and read) scheme. This requires pupils and staff alike to stop everything and read for 15 minutes before lunch. Other events include the visits of two Christchurch writers, Elsie Locke and Joanne Orwin, debates, and teachers speaking about their favourite books.
