Library Borrowing & Returns

Students can borrow up to 5 books at a time, for a 2 week duration.  Reminder emails, notices on Compass, and TEAMS messages are sent to students when books are overdue, prompting them to return or renew.  

We do not charge overdue fees, but long overdue books (months) will incur a replacement fee, and parents will be contacted via Compass 'events' regarding this.

Lunchtime Activities

Book Bites Book Club continued on Tuesdays this term with students creating and presenting 'Bento Book Boxes' of their favourite books.  These were then put on display for others to see.  

We also held a Book Week 'parade with a difference' - bringing in a favourite book character toy and/or dressing up a favourite toy as a book character - lots of fun on the day as students also enjoyed a special lunch with 'Thelma the Unicorn' cake

Our Book Week competition involved matching staff to their favourite books - alot of fun for both students and staff, with prizes to be won.

Book Reviews

Shadows of truth by Astrid Scholte

Review by Kaya (Year 9)

★★★★★

Shadows of Truth is a beautifully written sequel to League of Liars. It showcases love and betrayal in a way that is genuine and moving, all while having a riveting storyline that is rife with plot twists. Amazing writing and a joy to read.

One of us is lying by Karen McManus

Review by Subh (Year 8)

★★★★★

The best debut novel I have ever read. McManus kept me wanting to read more every time I put it down. I finished this in two days!!
