Library News

 

Overdue Library Books

Due to the disruption to schooling during Covid times there have been many issues arising with Library books not being returned through the library system and placed straight on the shelves. We are about to commence a stock take which will hopefully unearth many of these errors.

 

As the end of each term approaches it is our policy to print overdue notices in the attempt of recovering books which have been mislaid at home or within classrooms. There is no need to worry about the book at this point, we will let you know if it not recovered during stock take.

 

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

 

Library Borrowing for 2020 closes this week

The library staff are about to commence the end of year stocktake.  Students will be able to borrow this week (Week 7) but this is the final week for student  borrowing. In order for this stocktake to be an accurate reflection of our valuable resources we need all books to be returned by Friday 4th December (Week 8). 

 

Thanking you for your support.

 

Mrs Moore, Teacher Librarian


SJB’s Got Talent 2020

This year during Weeks 9 and 10, we will again be holding SJB’s Got Talent-Showcase where students are given an opportunity to share their creative talents with the school community. 

 

Due to COVID restrictions, the showcase will run differently this year, with students performing within their stage group in the hall whilst the rest of the school views the performances in their classrooms live streamed on youtube (like we did for book week). Unfortunately, students will not have the opportunity to perform with friends or siblings from other grades as we have in the past to avoid having students from many different grades gather in the hall. 

 

Parents will not be able to attend the showcase this year, however, I will put a package together to share with you in Week 10 via our newsletter and facebook page. 

 

The schedule for the performances will be sent home on Friday of Week 8 to help you with the organisation of music, costumes and props if required.

 

(Please note that the time limit for each act is 4 minutes).  

 

For more information please contact Mr Aguilera or your child's teacher. 


Who is running the canteen in 2021?

Fresh Start Canteens will begin the new canteen service on 1 February 2021. They are very keen to work with the school to provide the canteen service for parents and students.

 

The school is very grateful for the wonderful support of the P&F in coordinating the canteen over many years. An extraordinary number of volunteers have given of their time and have successfully provided the service. We particularly thank those who have taken on the role of coordinator and the additional work this has entailed. Thank you!

 

Further information will be provided as soon as possible. Orders will continue to be made via Quick Cliq.
