End of year Book Return & Loans

The end of the year is fast approaching and Library staff are busy preparing for the end of year stocktake. Students with overdue loans receive weekly reminders both via email and their English teacher, but sometimes this isn’t quite enough. Recently, any families whose students have loans overdue up to the 30th June will have received Compass notifications. If you are the recipient of a notification, please work with your student to find and return the item(s). Remember: the Library is an important resource shared by the whole College community. It relies on students returning borrowed items by their due date to ensure books are available to other students. Thank you.

Book Club

After a short hiatus, the Wantirna College Book Club is back on track! Students can join in the next few Mondays in the Library 2 classroom to discuss all things bookish. Discussions will include any new directions students would like the Book Club to go in in 2025. Exciting times are ahead!
