Library News
Stocktake Information
Last week (wk7) was the final week for borrowing at both libraries.
It is now time to start returning ALL library books. Overdue notices will be sent home in week 8.
It would be appreciated if all library books could be returned as soon as possible and no later than week 9.
Our annual stocktake of library resources will take place this term at MacQuoid St campus only.
The stocktake will take place during Weeks 9 & 10.
It is important to find as many books as possible. Please look at home for any outstanding returns (they sometimes do turn up in unexpected places) and return them ASAP so they can go through our stocktake.
If they cannot be found, (or have been damaged) please send a donation of $10 to the library if you are able - this will go towards purchasing a replacement copy.
Please email the librarians or your class teacher if you believe the book was already returned or a mistake has been made. Then we can search more thoroughly at school.
We offer a prize at each campus for the classroom that has the lowest amount of books still due by the start of week 10.
Word Millionaires
Congratulations to Luca D (4G) who has become our latest word millionaire through our Accelerated Reader program:
Students have been doing a lot of reading and quizzes through AR and have read at least 1 million words since the start of the year (and some are already well on their way to 2 million!).
