This term is always a busy time in adjusting to a new school year and the library is here to support all students, staff and parents.  We are the “go to people” if you have an issue with your technology, passwords, photocopying and printing, ID cards, lockers and bus passes. 

Mrs McMann is currently organising and distributing text books to students.  These texts are a loan item and need to be returned in good condition. 

Mrs Harradine and Ms Dallo are busy cataloguing both fiction and non-fiction books.  They have highlighted a few of the new books that can be borrowed from the library.  The white bookshelf will be the place to go in discovering the new titles that arrive daily in the library.

Mrs Schimschal is your friendly library assistant who is also the person to see in relation to locker and opal card issues.

I look forward to empowering all students in using the library tools and technology to research and obtain not only the best marks in their assessments but also in their own interests.  I recommend that all students download the Destiny Discover App (found in both the Playstore and the App Store). This app gives you access to the St Patrick’s Library. You will be able to see the library’s newly acquired books and place a reserve, ascertain when your books are due and use the links to do your research. 

Starting next week all clubs will commence; Thursday is when the knitting, K-Pop, and the chess clubs meet and Friday is Anime and Makerspace.  All are welcome.  If any students are interested in starting another club please see me during recess.

I look forward to another exciting term in the Library.
