KidsLit Quiz Presentation

Congratulations to our heat winners in last term's KidsLitQuiz Mid North Coast competition. Tiana Daly, Mikayla Hill, Hannah Thompson and Jack McManus were proud champions, and due to their efforts, the Library now has some new books to add to the collection.

Well done team!

Library Spaces

The Library has a few different spaces within its ‘shell’, used for many different purposes. Last week, with Year 10 students making big choices about their future studies, and Year 12 students completing online applications for tertiary places in 2021, Mrs Tinsey, our College Careers Advisor, utilised the seminar rooms to conduct interviews with students to support them in these processes. It was great to have the Library (a centre for information and ideas) used in this way. 

Podcasting

During this week, former school captain Steve Lyons visited the College to take part in an interview for the archival podcast "Regionals" currently under production in The Imagination Station in the Library. Steve attended the school in 1987-1990 before going on to complete his secondary education at MacKillop Senior College.

It's great to see the cutting-edge technology in The Imagination Station coming into its own. Stay tuned for more news about the "Regionals" podcast.

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

Now known as graphic novels, but formerly known as “Comics”, generations have found this genre to make for compelling reading. Many have thrilled to the adventures of Superman and warmed to the feisty Lois Lane, the character closely linked to Superman’s alter-ego, Clark Kent.
