Hello from the Library! I hope you have enjoyed the holiday break and quality time with your children. This is the term when Book Survivor takes place at Scotch College Junior School. Book Survivor is an initiative aimed at building connections and commonalities between the staff and students of the Junior School. Staff are encouraged to recommend a character from a picture book that they believe to be the greatest of all heroes. It is a personal choice and the students have to vote out one book each week, which they feel is not as popular or enjoyable to read as the other books. Eventually only one book remains; this being the Book Survivor. The other component of the competition involves the students making their predictions on which teachers chose particular heroes. The student who correctly guesses the most heroes of teachers is declared the winner. At the end of the term both the teacher associated with the winning book and the student who has guessed the most books to teachers are declared the Book Survivor winners and announced at Assembly.
