Chaos in the Library’s space time continuum! – Term 1 Competition
Something terrible has happened! The Senior Library’s omega energy source has been split into five separate segments. These segments have hidden themselves inside five different books in the Library. Not sure what to do, the Librarians called on the only being in the universe able to help…a 900-year-old Time Lord!
The Doctor has come up with a solution but she needs help from the students of Thomas Hassall. Only by borrowing one of these five unknown books will the segments of omega energy be released. However, time is not on the side of the Senior Library. If any of the segments haven’t been released by the end of Term 1, the Senior Library will transform back into its original particle state and vanish forever!
Help the Doctor! Help save the Senior Library! Mrs Comiskey and Mr Smith are relying on you!
Great prizes to be won for each student who borrows one of the five hidden books. More information coming 2021!

A Christmas classic in the Library!
A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens
Get ready for Christmas by reading the most famous Christmas novels every written!
“If I had my way, every idiot who goes around with Merry Christmas on his lips, would be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. Merry Christmas? Bah humbug!”
‘Ebenezer Scrooge is not a nice man. He is mean to his employees and mean to his family. He doesn’t understand Christmas at all. Then three ghosts appear haunting Scrooge. One shows him Christmas past. One shows him Christmas present. And one shows him an eerie Christmas future. Now Scrooge has one last chance… before it is too late!’
‘A Christmas Carol’ written by celebrated wordsmith Charles Dickens is probably the most famous Christmas story outside of the Bible. With a powerful message of redemption and of what really is important in life, this heart-warming story is one that readers will want to experience again and again. Main protagonist Scrooge is a wonderfully written character, bitter and twisted, he has lots of money but nothing else. His story of redemption and restoration is as relevant now as it was when it was first written down. Atmospheric, emotional and memorable, all readers should read this timeless classic at least once in their life. Lots more great Charles Dickens novels are available in the IRC!
Merry Christmas from the IRC!
Mrs Comiskey and Mr Smith would like to wish all students and their parents and guardians a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!
