LIBRARY & INFORMATION CENTRE NEWS Premier’s Reading Challenge All students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will be automatically included as the teachers and teacher librarians share read the 30 books needed to receive the Premier’s Certificate at the end of the year. Years 2 – 6 will be completing the PRC individually and we encourage them to participate. All students’ names are registered so it is just a matter of “Googling” NSW PRC and following the instructions below. Those who participate for four years receive a gold certificate. Primary school students are asked to read 20 books over the year (these may be picture books) so the process is quite easy. To help with selection, there are lists of books written for their year level on the website. Willoughby school has excellent literacy results and we believe that the Reading Challenge is contributing to this success. Registering for the Premier’s Reading Challenge ● Registration opens of March 1 via the PRC website www.schools.nsw.edu.au/premiersreadingchallenge ● Schools are automatically registered when a student starts an online reading record ● Students use their DET username and password. On their first logon for 2013, students record their previous school, if applicable. ● Student’s details (name and grade) on the PRC website come from the schools’ records ● Students are encouraged to complete their own online records at school, at home and at the local library. Parents can assist students to enter books read. ● The easiest most reliable way to enter books is by their ID number. ● Check the website homepage regularly for important messages and updates ● The challenge closes on 1 September. Students will need to have their records completed by 23 August 2013. ● We will validate all completed entries and the Certificate will be given out in the last weeks of 2013.

Willoughby Public School Annual Swimming Carnival 2013 Welcome back everyone for another fantastic sports filled year at Willoughby Public School. Last year our fantastic students and parents demonstrated their dedication and enthusiasm for sport at all levels and this year has started off in a similar manner. Firstly, I would like to thank all the parents/carers for their help on the day. Your assistance is always greatly appreciated by both teachers and students. Next, special congratulations to our House Leaders who, in their first leadership duties, demonstrated both excellent sportsmanship and organisational skills. It was pleasing to see all the house areas neat and tidy before the end of the carnival, with very little lost property to account for! Finally to all the wonderful Willoughby staff who worked tirelessly on the day. Your efforts are always welcomed and greatly appreciated. Included in this newsletter are the final results for the carnival. Congratulations to all the winners for achieving such fine results. All the ribbons associated with this year’s carnival will be handed out at Friday Lines in Week 7 (15 March) while the age champion trophies will be handed out at our Week 3-6 Assembly on Thursday March 21. Once details of qualifying times are finalized the Zone Swimming Team will be announced. The Zone Swimming Carnival is on March 5 at Lane Cove Pool. Our next major school carnival will be the Cross Country Carnival on Friday 5 April.
