STUDENT ID CARDS

I would like to encourage all students to please bring their student ID cards with them when they visit the library. Student ID cards help staff with the speed and accuracy of issuing loans. Student ID cards also make printing, photocopying and scanning easier and quicker.

In times of bushfires and billy buttons by Steven Herrick

 

What makes a good family? Love or blood?

And what if you have to choose between the two?

 

Ethan's parents are in jail; his Aunt works too hard; the new kid, Joshua, has a scar on his arm; a fire storm threatens the suburb, while wildflowers bloom along the school fence.

 

For Ethan, Audrey and their friends, it's time to choose what's important and what to leave behind. Age range 13 to 18.
