LIBRARY NEWS
Welcome to Term 2. We hope that during the holiday break, you all had a chance to ‘escape’ with some books!
Our Library just isn’t the same without our students visiting. When the Library opens again, you will notice our shelving and layout has changed which will make it easier to find the books you’d like to read.
Over the next couple of weeks, we would like to share some of our new books with the students by reading to them whilst we are still closed. We will also include books from the PRC List to count towards Student’s Reading Logs.
Premier’s Reading Challenge
The Premier’s Reading Challenge is well equipped to support student participation from home. The following adjustments have also been made effective 15th April 2020-
Students on all Challenge levels are able to read 10 choice books - an increase from 5.
- Students on all Challenge levels will be able to include books on their reading records that they read collaboratively as a class, in person or online with their teacher or at home with their parents/carers.
