Our Book Chat has been running every Thursday at lunch time with a fantastic group of students and staff attending. All students are welcome to attend. They can choose to contribute or just to listen to some lively discussions on the wonderful topic of books!
Students are still welcome to participate in the 2023 Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC). If your child is interested, please email me and I will register them so they can start logging their reads and become eligible for our PRC in-house competition. They need to only log 10 reads to enter. PRC books are available as hard copies in our library and as ebooks in SORA so reading resources are easily accessible. Students can also include 10 books of their own choice.
Holiday Reads – a reminder our ebook library, SORA , is available from home for holiday reading. It is free and has a very diverse collection of books, magazines, audiobooks, graphic novels and so much more. To find out how to install visit our library website for instructions. All you need to know is the code (CENETAU), our school (ACEN Member Collection) and your student’s username and password. It is that simple.
CBCA (Children’s Book Council of Australia) Shortlist Announced – visit CBCA’s website to view this year’s shortlisted titles. To view the list in PDF format, click HERE. I have also included a PDF copy of the CBA Notables List, which includes titles that may not have made the shortlist but still worth considering reading.
The College library has the Older Readers titles available in hard copy; as an e-book in SORA; or on order and available shortly. If students or parents would like to reserve any you can log into our website HERE, search for the title and then reserve it in your child’s name. You are welcome to also email patrice.martin@lism.catholic.edu.au and I will reserve the book for you.
And finally, we wish you all a very happy, safe and holy Easter. Enjoy the break.
Kind Regards
Mrs Patrice Martin, Mrs Cathy Whalen & Ms Karen Irvine - Library Assistants
