Premier’s Reading Challenge 2020

The Challenge is drawing to a close with 28th August being the final date for students to add their books to their log to be verified and signed off on. Some of our participating students have completed the Challenge, while others are yet to do this. We will follow up on students again around mid-August to make sure they are on track to complete.

Significant Literary dates

On August 12th, 1964, Ian Fleming, author of many novels depicting the adventures of British secret service agent James Bond, passed away. James Bond first appeared in Fleming’s 1953 novel “Casino Royale”, and was followed on by a total of 12 novels, and two collections of short stories.

RIP Ian Fleming.

Library Spaces

The Library has a few different spaces within its ‘shell’, used for many different purposes. This week, LibC, or the ‘computer’ area of the Library was used to run information sessions for Year 10 students currently selecting subjects for their Year 11 studies commencing in 2021. This space can act as a ‘theatre’ for information sessions such as this one depicted with Leader of Learning (English), Ms Anne Marchment, or can be reconfigured for classroom instructional use, or for student use of public access computers. Flexibility is key.
