What is a Yearbook? How do I get one?

 This year's yearbook is a must-have as we are working hard on the first edition which will be ready in June 2010! So what is a yearbook you ask? Well, it is essentially a memory book created to:


  • Capture all of the important milestones and achievements this year
  • Record our memories in a beautifully designed book that you can look back on year after year
  • See how you’ve changed over the years, and for teachers – to see how you’ve gotten older over the years

We are really excited to be working hard on this project for you and all of us in The Codrington School community. We have a lot of great surprises in store and we can guarantee that you will not be disappointed and most of all, you will need and want your own copy!


We can tell you that each and every one of you (part of our community) will be featured in the Yearbook. There will be individual photos & group photos of each form & house. It won't only be  a photo book but will also include stories about each class, major events and important things like the history of the school and projects we are working on in class. It will feature artwork by students as well as important achievements and awards.


There will also be fun features & surveys along with candid photos. We will include signature pages so you can write messages to your friends that will last forever!


In the next couple of weeks before Winter Break we will have a pre-order sale where you can secure an order for your own yearbook. We will feature contests & special offers. Keep an eye out, and tell your parents, for information in their email box and from your homeroom classes. You will see the Yearbook Team around so please ask us any questions! Tell us your ideas and we'll be happy to consider them in our first book.


We are REALLY proud of what we've been working on so far and are excited to show you our final product in June. Please support our efforts and our school this year. We promise you will not be disappointed. Tell your parents and friends about the Yearbook and order one soon!
