Library Lowdown
Our library is fast becoming an effective third space for our students to gather before school and during lunchtime with their friends, classmates and teachers. The past few weeks have found all our tables being occupied with students completing collaborative work, individual work, reading or just having some downtime before the next class.
International Women's Day
With this week celebrating International Women's Day, St Joseph's Regional College zoomed in to the Hastings Business Women's Network's keynote speaker Ms Elizabeth Broderick before school. A small group gathered to listen to the UN Special Rapporteur talk about breaking down structural and social barriers and promoting gender equality. Following this, there was a panel of local women leaders discussing the theme for this year: #Breakthebias.
We also asked a few of our keen reading staff and some of our students to share with us one of their favourite books by a female author. We created posters and distributed them throughout the College…....so if you're looking for a great read check out these recommendations.
Coming up:
- Still calling for all 2021 overdue books. We are hoping to have as many overdue books back by Week 8 when billing to accounts will occur.
- We're calling for Years 7-9 participants for the Premier's Reading Challenge.
- Any Year 7-8 student who would like to participate in the Kids' Lit Quiz.
- The Whitlam Institute is running a 'What Matters? Writing Competition'. This may be a competition that is meant for you!
