LRC NEWS
Cyber Safety Agreement
Acceptable Use and Cyber Safety Agreement for Students have been sent electronically via PAM for all parents to discuss with their children before signing and submitting. A student version of this agreement has also been printed for the Year 3-6 students to discuss further during class time in the LRC and with their Homeroom Teachers. Our Junior students will also discuss a younger version of how to look after technology and how to stay safe online. These students are encouraged to sign this agreement in their class with specific statements that will be referred to each week and the Agreement will be revisited each term. Please contact us if you need any further information around this updated Cyber Safety Agreement.
New books
I have become a little guilty of finding book treasures in my school holidays and purchasing them for our library. I then become so excited when I promote them to our students, that I forget that we need time to add these titles to our Library Computer System and then we need to cover these books before we can loan them out with confidence. If you think you could spare some time to cover some of these books, either on-site, or at home, then please email me with your interest;

The students would be most grateful to get their hands on these great new books as soon as possible!
New Staff
We welcome Mrs Angela Kelly into the Junior LRC classes this year, while Mr El-Hage takes some leave this year. We would also like to formally welcome Mrs Nicole Saker as another Library Assistant alongside Maureen Bourke in the Library Office. We remind all the students in Foundation up to Year 2 that they can borrow 4 books at a time and they can keep these for two weeks before renewing them. Students in Year 3- 6 can borrow up to 6 books at one time and they can also keep these for up to two weeks. We continue to encourage the use of Library bags for all students to help look after the quality of our Library Books that travel home with students.
