Library borrowing
For the forseeable future, St Philomena’s library will be extending the borrowing time and increasing the number of books students are allowed to borrow.
If your child has overdue books at home they do not need to return them until next term. Books that are being returned will be ‘quarantined’ for at least 24 hours and thoroughly cleaned before they are returned to the shelves.
Students will now be able to borrow up to 6 books each. If your child is already home, please get in contact with myself via email (bbremner@arm.catholic.edu.au) to request books your child would like to borrow. Books will then be lent out to your child and left at the front office for collection . Any books being returned can also be left at the front office.
Students from Year 3-10 have been shown how to access the Oliver website. Instructions have also been included in this week's newsletter.
