MESC LEARNING COMMONS

Opening Hours

The Learning Commons is open from 8.00am to 4.00pm each day, including recess and lunchtime.  However it is closed at recess each Friday.

 

Please DO NOT bring in food or drinks and we ask that you tidy up after yourself.

 

The Learning Commons is now a 'Devices Free Area' - this means no bringing in your phone or other ICT devices to play on during recess and lunchtimes.  Instead we encourage you to read a magazine, play a board game, talk to your friends, join in activities and/or even read your books.

Overdue Library Books

Please remember to check the 'due dates' of all items borrowed and ensure that they are returned promptly.  General overdue reminders are sent via Compass news to all students and individual notices are sent out via students' school email which should be checked regularly.  ALL library books, including class set titles, should be returned by the end of term.  If there are any concerns regarding late and/or lost items then please contact Mrs Swannell asap.
