September 2021

As we approach the end of Term 3 we would like to thank all the family, friends and carers who have encouraged their children to continue reading throughout Remote Learning. It is so important that children read for fun and for leisure and to have a break from the screens that take up the bulk of their day. With this in mind, we will be setting up a booking system for students to be able to come into school and pick up books that they have requested. Students will also need to return any books that they may still have at home before picking up new ones. We ask that all students log onto Oliver to make sure that the books that they want are available before emailing Mrs Hudson with a collection time. Oliver can be accessed at: http://oliver5.cg.catholic.edu.au/ 

Collection times will only be on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-3. Students only need to come into the Front Office to pick up their books, not the Library. You can email Mrs Hudson your request on lauren.hudson@cg.catholic.edu.au and she will get back to you with a time confirmation. You can also email Mrs Hudson if you have any questions about how to borrow books during Remote Learning.
