Our Screen Is Now Live

The Senior Library screen, located near the circulation desk is now able to screen information. We now inform students of new additions to the library collection, book series and reviews. Student art work can also be viewed. A very big thank you to Mr Davis for setting this up and Mrs Heath for her hard work in putting together the library contributions.

Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The VPRC continues, with many students now logging the titles they have read. Since the Challenge started in March, students in Years 7 and 8 have read a total of 463 books. A fantastic effort!

So far, the most popular books have been Midnight (part of the Warrior series by Erin Hunter) and The Third Wheel (part of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney) Of the books available in the school library, the two top rated titles are Specky Magee and The Great Footy Contest by Felice Arena and Battlefront by Michael Adams.

A few reminders:

  • All book titles need to be entered on the website by 8th September, when the Challenge finishes.
  • To meet the Challenge, students need to read a minimum of 15 books (10 or more from the VPRC list and 5 or more of their own choice)
  • The English teacher will verify the books before they are counted towards the Challenge total.
  • If a title cannot be found on the booklist, students can contact library staff with the title, author and ISBN of the book (library@standrews.vic.edu.au ) and library staff will add the book to the student’s list.
  • To login- All students have been given their login details. These must be entered exactly as they are printed.
  • If these are lost, students can see their English teacher or email the library (library@standrews.vic.edu.au ) to reset their password.
