Library

What genre is popular in the Library?

Graphic Novels are by far the most borrowed and requested book on our shelves. As soon as they are returned they are borrowed out again or placed on reserve through AccessIT which is our online Library platform. We are consistently adding to our Library collection with request from students to ensure we are meeting their needs. We offer a wide variety of different texts for students to read.

Write4fun writing competition:

The following student’s entries have all been entered into the Write4fun competition. This was a free writing about any topic that was either a short story or a poem.

Springtime of life – Hailey Bangan Year 8 Retrieving Hope – Ayana Bhalla Year 7

Darkness – Kaitlyn Cashen Year 8 

The Reality – Babaljot Virk Year 9

The finalist will be advised by the end of Term 2. Good luck to all of these students.  

ECSC Club wall:

Our clubs at school are growing during lunchtimes which are available for students to attend. As you can see the clubs on the image below some of the clubs on offer but there are so many others that a run at lunchtime. Remind your children to come in and have a go. 

Expand your learning:

Here in the library we are starting to use all the space on our walls to show students' work and achievements but also where students can go to look for ideas when they are learning. The image below is about our writing and how we can think about how we can write.

We have just had these desks installed for students as a different learning area. These will be an amazing tool for them to use to zone out and concentrate on their own work or studying for a SAC.
