New Library display
Are you brave enough to read a book that has once been banned? Did you know that many of the books we know and love today have at one time been banned from school and public Libraries? Many will surprise you! Should books ever be banned? Can literature be censored? What do you think?
Come into the IRC today to see this new display and see if you are brave enough to borrow a banned book!
Photos of the display can be seen by scrolling the images at the top of the article.
Overdue notices
Overdue notices will be sent out this week. If any students require a printed list of their loans please speak to Mrs Comiskey or Mr Smith.
Students who do not return their books after receiving their third notice as well as an email will be invoiced for a replacement copy.
All invoices will still stand if books are returned after this final date.
There are still many students in Years 8 to 11 who have textbooks from 2019. These books need to return to the IRC as soon as possible. Students who do not return their books will receive an invoice for a replacement copy.
If you have any problems or questions regarding overdue books please speak to Mrs Comiskey or Mr Smith who will be happy to help.

‘To all the boys I’ve loved before’ – Jenny Han

But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh.
As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.”
