The Senior IRC has recently changed the way overdue notices are issued. Instead of receiving a red note from their PC teachers, students will now receive an email from the Library informing them of which resources they have that are overdue. Like the printed version these emails will be issued every two weeks.
Students who do not return their books after receiving their third email notice as well as an email to their parents will be invoiced for a replacement copy. All invoices will still stand if books are returned after this final date. If you have any problems or questions regarding overdue books please speak to Mrs Comiskey or Mr Smith who will be happy to help.

White Rose – Kip Wilson
“A gorgeous and timely novel based on the incredible story of Sophie Scholl, a young German college student who challenged the Nazi regime during World War II as part of The White Rose, a non-violent resistance group. Disillusioned by the propaganda of Nazi Germany, Sophie Scholl, her brother, and his fellow soldiers formed the White Rose, a group that wrote and distributed anonymous letters criticizing the Nazi regime and calling for action from their fellow German citizens. The following year, Sophie and her brother were arrested for treason and interrogated for information about their collaborators.”
‘White Rose’ tells the tragic and moving true story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance movement, a group of brave young people who attempted to stand up to Hitler and the Nazis during the Second World War. Powerfully and beautifully told in poetic form, author Kip Wilson has created a unique and special tribute to the incredible heroism of Sophie, her brother and the movement. Told from the perspective of Sophie and other members of the movement, ‘White Rose’ is an incredible debut novel, one that should be read by everyone. Its important message of standing up for what is right will stay with readers long after the final page.
