Library and Information Week

I’m excited to announce that the Library will be participating in National Simultaneous Storytime and holding a mapping competition to celebrate the new Library.

These fun activities are part of Library and Information Week, where libraries around Australia use the week to raise the profile of library and information professionals and to celebrate what libraries do.

National Simultaneous Storytime will see our Year 12 boys partnering with our prep (Kindergarten) boys from Wyvern and Lindfield, to read The Wrong Book by Nick Bland, which has been chosen as the national book that will be read at the same time on Wednesday 22 May in schools and libraries across Australia.

The library competition involves students creating a map or tour of the library and submitting it for their chance to win a 2GB iPod shuffle!

This competition is open to students at the Stanmore Campus. Entries close Monday May 20th. Students wanting more information can obtain an information pack from the Library Help Desk.

I’m looking forward to seeing what our boys come up with!
