Junior School Resource Centre
This fortnight it has been a pleasure working alongside the Year 5 students as they master skills in research, report writing and APA referencing to compete their exhibition report. These skills are the foundation, which will take them through their academic careers, which for many of the boys in this group will finish as university graduates of 2026 and beyond!
The boys are getting excited about Book Week and in library lessons this fortnight there was much discussion about the book characters the boys were planning to dress up as. The annual Book Week Parade will be held at 2.10pm on Thursday 27 August. The boys will change into their costumes at the beginning of lunchtime in readiness for the 2.05 start time. The staff, lead by Mr Stewart, are also planning a special surprise.
On Tuesday 25 August, six Year 5 boys will be heading over to MLC to compete in the Children's Book Week Readers Challenge. Not only are these boys completing their exhibition projects, they are also busy reading the short-listed books for the Children's Book Award. We wish Fletcher O'Connell, Henry Capon, Henry Vaughan (5C) and Banjo Harold, Joel Stocks and Emmanuel Radici (5W) all the best in their final two weeks of preparation. Our two Year 4 reserves are also busily reading in case they are needed on the day. A huge thank you to James Cowan and Mikhael Djauhari.
