NEW BOOKS – STUDENT REQUESTS

As you know from the last newsletter, I have been able to acquire from Scholastic some ‘student requests’ to add to our collections - here are just a few that have been processed and ready for borrowing this fortnight:

Welcome To The World of Sonic (Popular Fiction Series)

Spiro (Junior Fiction)

Digger Digs Down (Junior Fiction)

LEGO - How To Build Everything (Non Fiction)

The Determined Kitten (Popular Fiction Series)

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all our parents who buy from Scholastic Book Club – our school receives reward points with each order which I use to purchase titles requested by our students. And of course, thank you to our wonderful parents and staff who cover the books!

Stayed tuned for more titles…

SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB ISSUE 6

Book Club Issue 6 orders were sent home last week.  

TERM 3 IN REVIEW

All I can say is - what a busy term it has been for the Library! Here is just a snapshot of what a fantastic time we have had:

* the CBCA Shortlist books being processed and shared,

* new student requests acquired,

* our whole school Trivia Tournament,

* the completion of the Premier’s Reading Challenge,

* giving the Library a mini makeover – moving of furniture, new displays and event photos (next time you visit our Library, feel free to come and have a look – our students love them!), and

* the highly successful Book Parade.

The above of course has one important goal – to encourage a love for reading. Here at Holy Cross we are extremely fortunate to have a staff that is passionate about this and a Leadership team that supports it. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do – be able to offer our wonderful students’ opportunities to contribute to what is stocked in the Library as well as ample opportunities to discover the joy of reading. I truly believe in our Library’s mission and of course I have my fantastic Library Warrior’s who support me every step of the way.

With holidays upon us, I’d like to wish all of our Holy Cross community a happy, enjoyable holiday and I look forward to sharing with you what we get up to next Term!

Happy reading everyone!
