Premier’s Reading Challenge

Thank-you to all students who returned their competed reading record forms. Certificates will not arrive until late October and will be presented to students in November.

eBooks – why not try one during the holidays?

eBooks can be a great alternative to hard copy books during the holidays – they will never be overdue and don't get left behind at exotic holiday destinations! Students form Yr 1-6 can borrow from our Primary ePlatform, whilst students in Yrs 7-12 can choose from the Secondary site. Sign in is via their school username and password.

Secondary Library Closed Next Week

The Secondary School library will be closed next week to allow for some refurbishments to take place. This includes before and after school.

eSports

eSports is continuing to grow in schools across Australia. We have had a busy few weeks of eSports with our Yr 4, Yr 7/8 and Yr 9/10 Fuse Cup teams all competing in regional competitions. In some very exciting finishes, our Year 4 Just Dance team placed 5th, while our Year 7/8 and 9/10 students made the semi-finals of the Rocket League competitions. Well done to the students and their coaches!


JS Chess

Looking for something fun and exciting for kids to do these holidays? Chess Mates are running special classes and events during the holidays – please see the attached brochure for more information. Enrolments are also now open for Term 4 classes, which are held in the Library on Wednesdays at lunchtime.

Overdue Resources

We appreciate library books and other resources being returned or renewed before their due date.This allows saves library staff an enormous amount of time following these up. Please ask your children to have a good look around their rooms during the holidays.
