Resource Centre

This week students are starting to stock up on books and magazines to read through the holiday break. With the colder winter weather settling in it is a great time to take the opportunity to read and enjoy some fiction and non-fiction books as well as choose from a wide range of magazines across many interesting topics. 

Many new books are on display and ready for borrowing over the holidays. There is no limit on the number of books students are able to borrow and borrowing occurs throughout the year including all school holiday breaks. We keep a stash of carry bags in the Resource Centre so that students are able to stock up on a good number of books to keep them reading and entertained at all times.

Those students with books that were not returned up to the 24th May 2023 will now be invoiced for the cost of those items, as reminders were sent out to both students and parents for these books to be returned. I thank those parents and students who responded to the notices sent out and promptly returned the overdue books.

Both students and parents will receive during the first two weeks of Term 3, reminders with replacement costs for overdue books from the 25th May 2023 to be returned to the Resource Centre. We try to give students every opportunity to return overdue books but replacement costs must be applied if this does not occur. Returned books must be in acceptable condition to avoid replacement cost.

“Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book” Jane Smiley (Novelist and Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner, 1992, for her novel A Thousand Acres).
