Library News
Welcome back to for Term 2. We are excited to be holding our Book Fair this term. It will be held in the Library from May 19th to May 23rd. Keep an eye on Compass and the Newsletter for more information.
We have a number of spare Harry Potter Coles Collectables tokens in the library. If your child is looking for any tokens to complete their collection at home, students are welcome to come and see if they can find the ones they need during Library Club. This is open to all students and runs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the first half of lunchtime and we have colouring in, games and quiet reading activities set up.
