JRC News

The view from the JRC is changing every day thanks to our front row seat of the school’s redevelopment works. Despite some noise and disruption, we have remained a popular, welcoming space for students during Year 7 and 8 reading classes and at lunchtimes.

New JRC hours For Terms 2 And 3

Please take note of our revised hours for terms 2 and 3. Students will still be able to return books or use the photocopier before school, at recess and after school until 3.30pm.

Under Construction

The JRC is currently developing new Smartsuite resource pages: 

- Study Skills 

Effective habits, organisation, time management tips, well being:

- A Digital Toolkit for both teachers and students

Resources, information, collaboration and content engagement suggestions, how-tos on using SmartSuite (and other online catalogues) for material searches and database enquiry.

We are enthusiastic about considering any sources that might be useful, and welcome ideas and suggestions in person or via email (bhyde@fhs.vic.edu.au)

WOW Wednesday

Our remote library service, Words on Wheels is back in the Presentation Space every Wednesday from 12.00–1.00pm with Ms Hast. You will find copies of VCE texts for borrowing, help with study skills and referencing or mindfulness activities. Ms Hast is also available in the JRC Friday lunchtimes. You can also make contact through Compass or directly at thast@fhs.vic.edu.au

Library Activities

Unfortunately capacity limits have impacted on the number of clubs we can host in the library. Homework Club is not running this semester.
