Thank you everyone for your orders.

YEAR 6 LIBRARY LEADERS

Thank you to the thirty five Year 6 students who came to the Library Leader Information Lunch and have pledged to give their time to ensure our school Library continues to run smoothly and the that the students of our school are presented with excellent reading role models. These students will have various tasks in the coming year and I'm sure if this week is anything to go by, they will certainly be up to the task.

Absent: Thomas McMullen, Oliver Clydsdale, Issie Chatfield, Elliot Rodda, Ashton Kelaher, Sarla Keech, Hannah Mace, Brody Howard and Peta Jenkin.

HELP NEEDED: BOOK COVERERS

If you would like to assist with essential book covering please send me an email or a message with your child - jmcguirk@arm.catholic.edu.au.

If you have had a life-scarring experience with contact, I can assure you that the library contact is of high quality and very easy to work with. There is also the option of covering with plastic. I also offer a quick free lesson to get you started.

Books are cool don’t treat ‘em mean.

Bring your bag every time.
