Sakura Medal

The Sakura Medal is an annual reading programme in international schools across Japan that encourages students to read and enjoy recently published books from an international list selected by librarians.

At Saint Maur we are participating in the English Picture Book category for students in grades 1 to 3,   the English Chapter Book  and Graphic Novel categories for students in grades 3 to 5,  as well as  English Middle and English High School categories for secondary students.

Check the notice board outside the library and the Sakura Medal Website for more information.
