A GOOD MOVE<br />
Ryan McNulty was a full-time student at <strong>Coombeshead</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong> until 2016, following A Level courses in Computer<br />
Science and Digital Art plus EDCL at Level 3.<br />
At the beginning of Year 13 he decided to use his skills in a<br />
different way having volunteered in the Library and Learning<br />
Resources Centre(LRC) for six months.<br />
Now formally employed in the LRC, Ryan is learning on<br />
the job in that as part of his apprenticeship this year he is<br />
studying Level 2 Business, working through the modules<br />
independently. Level 3 will follow on.<br />
He says overall it was a good move to take up the post in the<br />
LRC. He enjoys the calm working environment and is using<br />
his IT skills to support Mrs Betts!<br />
Ryan’s duties include assisting with Accelerated Reader,<br />
sourcing new stock, cataloguing, labelling, data processing<br />
for House Awards, maintaining the work stations and helping<br />
with displays.<br />
Other student supporters, on a voluntary basis, include Year<br />
13 student Emma Taylor (pictured with Ryan) who has been<br />
supporting the LRC from Year 10. Year 12 students Daisy<br />
Boyd and Naomi Osmond also help out with homework club<br />
after school on Thursdays and Fridays.<br />

Mrs Betts, LRC Manager, commented, "The students<br />
are invaluable; 100% reliable and a real asset to our<br />
learning community."<br />
NEW BOOKS IN STOCK<br />
In the Learning Resource Centre we are always trying to update and make additions to our stock, particularly the reading<br />
books for the Accelerated Reader scheme. Some of the latest additions are currently on display.<br />
Lunchtimes are always busy in the LRC - a space where students can read and relax but also challenge their friends to a<br />
game of chess or Connect 4!<br />
