Premiers Reading Challenge.

From the start of April to the 6^th of September, all students were invited to partake in the Premiers Reading Challenge. The goal for the students was to read 15 books, and 3 students completed the challenge:

• Mae Sutherland
• Matilda Vistarini
• Charlotte Spencer

Well done to these students for taking on the challenge and to Mae Sutherland for being the first to complete it.

Puzzle

Well done to the students who completed their 3000-piece puzzle after approximately a terms worth of lunchtimes.

• Charlie
• Madison Salt
• Blake Huddart

There is no rest for these students as they are already onto their next puzzle, which is double-sided.

VR Headset

We welcomed students into the world of VR on the 4^th of September through the Geelong Regional Library’s activity program. Students from all classes were invited to the library at lunch to try out the VR headset and experience first-hand the advancements in technology.

A Move to Less Screen time

Recently in the Library, we have made it a goal to lessen screen time for students at recess and lunch. To do so, we have asked that students do not play computer games in the library at recess and lunch and instead try other activities such as reading, playing board/card games and talking to their friends. After implementing this change, we have noticed a more calmer and positive atmosphere in the library.

If you have any suggestions for non-computer related games and activities, or any books, please let the librarians know as they are currently on the lookout to increase their collection.

Book Week Creative Challenge

For book week we invited students to participate in a book week challenge responding to this year’s prompt ‘Reading is Magic’. Students could draw, paint or even write a piece for the competition. Our winner were:

• Chloe Allen
• Siobhan Bodnar
• Ruby Stabenow
• Charlie Maskell (not pictured)
