We’re planning a big ‘makeover’ for 2013. New tables, chairs and ottomans are long overdue and will make a big difference to our facility. Our much anticipated makeover is only possible through the generosity of the Community Gambling Benefit Fund. Watch this space for further makeover news in the new year.

Schoolies Week

Our Year 12’s have graduated and we wish them well. We’re going to miss all our Seniors and their constant requests for laptops and print credit – NOT.  Seriously, all the best in the future guys from all of us in the Library and Text Book Hire store. For those who haven’t jumped straight into work, and are engaging in celebrations, we urge you to take care.  The NSW Government have published quite a good safety guide.

Cyberbulling

 Ok mums and dads, while we’re on the safety kick, here’s a really good resource for Parents about preventing and responding to cyberbullying.  It’s available for download in many formats even MP3.  This paper outlines definitions and statistics related to cyberbullying, differences between cyberbullying and offline bullying, and parents’ roles and involvement in preventing and responding to cyberbullying incidents. The aim of the paper is to inform practitioners and other professionals of ways to help parents clarify their roles, and provide them with the tools to help their teenage children engage in responsible online behaviour. 

Lastly, congratulations to Michael Kitto for taking out our competition that came with the Qld Museum’s Dinosaur display. Michael should have more light on his laptop keyboard now for doing homework!
