Overdue Library Books

This week, overdue notices will be sent home with those students who have library books not returned by their due date. Parents are asked to assist their child in finding these or please send payment to the office to cover the replacement of these books.

We encourage students to make an effort to ensure any overdue books are returned before the holidays; this means that they can begin borrowing new books in the next term. However, if books cannot be found this week, the holidays might be a good time to have a look for them and then return asap next term.

Thank you to those students who have already returned any borrowed books, and thank you to parents for assisting their child in being responsible for the library books they borrow.
