Staff and students were also involved in creating a special literary bench to commemorate the story of Ebenezer Le Page which was painted with scenes from the book by Art teacher Charlie Buchanan and student Sam O’Neill. The beautiful bench was unveiled at Castle Cornet and then formed a focal point in the Market Square.
