Library

Our Senior School Library is always a bit VIBEy!

The VIBE Festival is on again - the annual event that allows visitors to join us and see what College is like. As always, the Senior School offered a range of events, two of which occurred in our Winifred Berry Information Centre. Photos were taken, and a blog post is currently under construction; hopefully it will be finished with lots of photos by the time you read this and click here. The Minecraft Event after lunch also attracted a number of excited Year 6 students.

Our theme this year was Spies and we talked about Nancy Wake (The White Mouse) and her heroism in World War 2. Nancy recently passed away in her nineties. She is Australia’s most militarily decorated woman of all time.  Nancy was not alone. There were 10,000 people working on code breaking at

Bletchley Park in the UK and over 75% of them were women. In Melbourne, and Brisbane: “The secret work that took place in Monterey – and complementary intelligence slog in a suburban house named Nyrambla in Ascot, Brisbane – changed the course of the war in the Pacific”. Tony Wright, who grew up near Portland and went to school in Hamilton has recently written about their work, click here to read more.

Thank you:

Farewell Mrs Elisha Nettleton. We will miss your breezy manner and imaginative solutions to issues that arise in school libraries. We wish you and your family all the best for the future.
