Last week was the swimming sports and Mrs Gates made a lovely display to encourage the students, and then after the sports came the congratulations!

In the next couple of weeks it will be Clean Up Australia Day. 

If you love fantasy you might like to try one of our dragon books on display.  I can vouch for the Eragon series!

We are hoping for some student book reviews over the next few weeks and if parents would like to recommend a book to staff (or students - maybe a favorite from when you were at school) and would like to write a short review please send it to library@sje.vic.edu.au
