Loving the Library @

Welcome to the Library for Term Four. Our new library team includes Sherie Halil, Elaine Moran and Matt DeLeon. Things are moving along in the library with some physical changes, along with some new initiatives that are in the planning stage. We are working towards creating a more inviting and dynamic learning area to support the recreational and academic needs of our students.

A library housekeeping reminder that students can borrow up to 4 books for a 2 week timeslot. After this time the student can re-borrow the book for an additional 2 weeks or return in the foyer of the RSC or at the Library Counter.

The library is open from 8.20am until 4.30 every day, students are welcome to come in before/after school or during lunchtime/recess to read or work.

We would like to wish everyone the best of luck in their preparation for the end of year assessments and exams.

Watch this space for all of the exciting upcoming changes!

Book Review

500 Minutes of Danger

Ten different kids are facing 10 different hair-raising situations, fighting to save their own lives and, in some cases, the lives of others in their community. At first these short stories appear to be random tales about brave young people facing incredible danger: a pool of quicksand, a cave-in, a monstrous beast, spies and crooked politicians and more. But eventually we realise that a common thread links all these situations and all these kids. Jack Heath is known for his adventure stories that drag the reader along at breakneck pace. His many fans will love this book and, as suggested on the back cover, they will probably read it in half an hour or less. Then they’ll read it again. If it’s excitement, danger and clever, brave characters that you’re looking for, then Jack Heath is the author for you and 500 Minutes of Danger is a good book with which to start.
