VOLUNTEERS<br />
NEEDED FOR<br />
SENIOR SCHOOL<br />
EXAMS<br />
Senior <strong>School</strong> requires assistance from volunteers who<br />
can read and/or write for students receiving special<br />
examination provisions during exams.<br />
If you are able to help please contact the school<br />
office with your details and Senior <strong>School</strong> Support will<br />
return your call.<br />
There are already a number of wonderful volunteers<br />
who regularly give their time. However, these<br />
volunteers are not always available for every exam.<br />
A larger register of helpers is required, especially due<br />
to the imminent Higher <strong>School</strong> Certificate exams.<br />
Information about Special Examination Provisions can<br />
be found on the NSW BOARD OF STUDIES WEBSITE and<br />
from Senior Support.<br />
A Working With Children Check will be required.<br />
Your generous assistance will be very much<br />
appreciated.<br />
A NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY<br />
We were delighted to<br />
see so many parents<br />
and friends visit the<br />
new Library facility at<br />
Hurstville Campus on<br />
Open Day.<br />
We are now fully<br />
functional and enjoying<br />
the buzz of students<br />
reading, playing board<br />
games and coming for<br />
research and reading<br />
lessons with their<br />
teachers.<br />
We have a constant flow of new books: Let<br />
me highlight three new series recently added<br />
to the “New Book” shelf:<br />
• In Junior Fiction novels: Jackie French’s<br />
Animal Rescue series. Each book is about<br />
100 pages, in larger print.<br />
• Our Australian Girl, by various authors,<br />
follows the adventures of different girls<br />
at various times in Australia’s history.<br />
• For older readers, a new series by<br />
<strong>Christian</strong> authors Bodie and Brock<br />
Thoene. Zion Diaries, is set against the<br />
background of Nazi Germany.<br />
