News from the
Library
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of Term 1! The term has flown by in the Library, possibly because I have been preparing to fly away myself. I will be away next term on long service leave and will be back in Term 3 with stories to tell and hopefully a lot of books read. While I’m away Ms Cao will be taking my place. Please make her welcome and say hi next time you are in the Library.
Library Leaders
Our Library Leaders continue to help make the Library shine! At the end of each term we hold a thank you morning tea, and newly trained students are awarded their badges by our Student Leadership Coordinator, Ms Amat Y Leon. Congratulations to our newest fully fledged and badged Library Leaders, James and Dolly, and welcome to six new Library Leaders in training who joined this term.
Shadow Judging
The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) have invited students across Australia to join the conversation about the annual Book of the Year shortlist and to choose their preferred winners. Shadow Judges read all six shortlisted books in their chosen category, then judge them using the same criteria that the official CBCA book judges use. It is a lot of fun reading and discussing each book and deciding which title you think should win. Students who would like the opportunity to be part of the Wantirna College Shadow Judging community please email m us.
