Overdue Books

Overdue books are something of a perennial problem and this term the numbers remain stubbornly high.  Students have been notified a number of times already about overdue books so please make every attempt to follow this up and return books as soon as possible. 

From Tuesday, June 10 any student with an overdue book will be unable to borrow so please have a good look around at home. 

If you have any queries regarding this, please contact me: david.honeybone@education.vic.gov.au
