Library Report

This week we once again took part in the Uniting Church Lunch program that occurs each and every Tuesday for members of our Community.

Mr. Leo McMahon supervised our group of Year 9 Volunteers on the day and once again our Students gained a wider perspective of empathy and compassion, along with being a ‘servant’ leader.

Here are our girls preparing food at School beforehand.  Thankyou amazing Students for your wonderful energy and enthusiasm.

The Month of March, with thanks to one of our Year 12 Student Leaders, Bella Manson, was deemed “Gratitude Month” here in the Library.

A table was set up with paper, pens and a big glass jar for inviting written phrases expressing Gratitude for something, anything that came to mind.

 I would like to share a selection of the "Offerings" submitted.
