LIBRARY

The Library has been very busy this month celebrating a range of events, from International Women’s Day and Hearing Awareness Week to Clean Up Australia Day and International Pi Day! Recommendations of titles that you can read that are linked to these great causes have been on display over the month. Go hunting for recommendations of green covers to acknowledge St Patrick, or check out the ends of the shelves for all the latest releases to the Library. There’s always something that the Library team are happy to recommend to you!  

Book Club 
All students are encouraged to join us on Thursday lunchtimes to chat all things books and reading. There’s no need to sign up and there’s no preparation or prior reading required – just drop in and participate in the book related activities and conversations that are occurring! Please see Miss Giles for further information.  

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge 
The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is coming soon! Keep an eye out for more details, including your login details. For Year 7 and 8 students, these details will be provided through your Independent Reading classes. If you are in Years 9 TO 12 and would like to participate in the Premiers’ Reading Challenge, please see Miss Pauer for further information and login details. Remember that all students who complete the Premiers’ Reading Challenge are eligible for house points!  

Games at Lunch 
The Library has updated our games selection and we now have a range of new card and board games, including ‘Exploding Kittens’, ‘Unstable Unicorns’, ‘Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza’ and ‘Harry Potter Memory Master’. There are new Uno cards and Connect Four, as well as old favourites, including the big chess set.  

Write a Book in a Day 
We’re aiming to get a team together to ‘write a book in a day’ this year, so if you’re interested, sign up now! The aim of this challenge is for a group of students to write, illustrate, edit and publish an entire book in just one day! You’d need to be available from 8am – 8pm on the day of writing, and also do some fundraising to support the Kids Cancer Project. Further details will be available soon. Students at all year levels are welcome to participate. If you are either a writer or an illustrator, Ms Bon would love you to join the team.  

Dungeons & Dragons Club 
The sign-up sheet for the Dungeons & Dragons Club is in the Library for students who are interested in joining. Mr Nyhuis and Mr Martin will be holding D&D playing sessions in D3 from Term 2!
