EASTERN REGION LIBRARY

Students can join Eastern Regional Libraries with only a few easy clicks online. Parents/guardians can visit this link – http://www.yourlibrary.com.au/students and fill out a few details. The new library card will be delivered to school and distributed through home group. Once you are a member you will have access to their physical books, but also to their vast digital library, including popular magazines and audiobooks. 

WHEELERS DIGITAL LIBRARY

This year we were excited to join Wheelers eBooks. Wheelers is a digital eBook library that offers staff and students access to over 300,000 eBooks, including the latest popular releases. The eBook library works in a similar manner to our physical library in that ‘books’ are borrowed for 2 weeks and are returned automatically.

To access Wheelers, students and staff (and parents if they like) simply need to click on the link in the favourites tab on Compass.

CLICKVIEW

A reminder that the College has a subscription to Clickview, which is a great online resource filled with thousands of audio visual educational material. It includes numerous short videos explaining and exploring the different elements of most subjects, many feature films and some amazing documentaries.  

To access Clickview, students simply need to click on the link in the favourites tab on Compass.
