Library Trivia

On Wednesday the Junior Librarians hosted their first trivia in the library at lunch. It was a hit!! There were teams from all primary classes and even some very competitive teachers! The winners will be announced at assembly next week. We look forward to hosting many more trivia events in the library. 

Reminder

As we approach the end of term, please make sure all library books and school library bags are returned to school.

Save the Date!

The 2025 Book Week will be held during Week 5 in Term 3. The theme for the Book Week this year is ‘Book An Adventure’ and students will be invited to dress as their favourite character. There will be more information closer to the date. 

Holiday Reading

Did you know that St Xavier’s students have access to thousands of eBooks and audiobooks via the Armidale Catholic Schools Office Digital Library?

The digital library is accessible via the app called SORA, by Overdrive. Simply access the app store and search for Sora. Alternatively go to https://soraapp.com 

The next step will be for your child to log in using their own personal username and password. Students should know their username as it is the first part of their school email address, however if they need reminding please ask them to come and see me in the library. Their password is simply the same password that they use to log in to their chromebooks every day at school. 

The fabulous thing about SORA and the digital library is that it can be accessed from home and is available throughout the year, including during school holidays. This means access to thousands of eBooks and audiobooks at any time!
