Wanding

Carolyn is using the wand and phone to search the collection for lost and in-transit items. I've 'had a go' and suggest that you all take the opportunity to use this equipment and experience the procedure! Albert

Premier's reading challenge

Just letting you all know that the PRC has started again for 2015, and I've put it in the student bulletin so you might get kids coming in to grab a form. The forms are in the blue folder at the school desk. Please ensure you hand out the form relevant to their year level and record their details at the front of the folder. Karla

overdues

Just keeping you in the loop that I’ve been in touch with home room teachers of students who still have overdue laptops from last year. I’ve asked them to return them and we will reborrow them straight away. If you get someone coming in to do this, I’d appreciate it if you could please cross their name off of the list in the pink folder on my desk (this will save me time having to cross check later).

Also, a reminder that any student with overdue class sets or equipment is not to be allowed to borrow any items, including laptops, until their overdues are returned or paid for. This is as per the principal’s instructions. Karla

new drives

As the new MacBook Airs don’t have optical drives we will have external DVD drives available for teachers to borrow as a 1 week loan. You will find them straight ahead above the laptops  in the safe store. Nathan

public WiFi for students

If students are having issues accessing Public WiFi on the MacBook Pro’s they will need to set the location to Public Library (under the apple symbol) before changing wireless networks. The instructions for this are on the info handout in the laptop folder and on COOLnet regarding using WiFi on these Macs at school, in the library and at home. Nathan

shelving changes - children's library

Just letting you know there has been a change in the children’s library - the Audio books and the CD’s have made a swap in where they were on the slatted wall.  This is so we can use the wall for information for parents. Jo
