CHAPLAINCY BOOK FAIR

 

Claude Brand Book Club (CBBC)

CBBC has completed reading “The one and only Ivan” by Katherine Applegate. This is the fist book in the “The One and Only” series.

 

Year 7 students enjoyed following the journey of Ivan the Silverback Gorilla. “The one and only Ivan” highlighted friendship, happiness, sadness, hope, change, and willingness to see the good in others.

 

Ivan is a real Silverback who lived to 50 years old. This is his story. All other characters are fictional.

 

Thank you to Wimmera Libraries for loaning this book club set to Horsham College.

 

CBBC’s next book for Term 4 will be a biography of a famous person of each member’s choosing. If you wish to join CBBC, please see Jenelle @ HC Library.

 

 

LOCKERS

A friendly reminder for all students to remove all items and clean their lockers when they finish school during Term 4.

 

For some students this maybe a little earlier due to work placement, family holidays, harvest ect.

 

Locker maintenance begins as each year level finishes the term and all remaining items are removed.

 

Remaining items are disposed of or recycled. A small number of items deemed valuable may be stored for a short period of time, however, their security cannot be guaranteed.

 

Please remember to:

  • Remove any textbooks (perhaps on-sell if not required next year)
  • Take your Padlock with you
  • Remove your pencil case
  • Return any library books to the library

Please contact Mr Queale if you have any concerns.
