Online Book Exchange

I have created a public forum on the school website for our students to sell or buy second hand text books and study guides. Many students have been asking me if I want to buy them and have been wanting to sell theirs so I am hoping that if I advertise this with outgoing and incoming Year 12 students it may be useful.

The site is up and running but is a bit of an experiment at the moment so I will have to try and promote it heavily with the students. Wish me luck !

The Latest Innovation from the NLA

I love TROVE ! This excellent resource provided by the National Library of Australia has become such a lifesaver when sourcing resources for the PIP and IRP that HSC students are starting at the moment. They recently sent me some posters and bookmarks too that the students have snapped up. Find and get over 250,253,831 Australian and online resources: books, images, historic newspapers, maps, music, archives and more

Student Message Board

I found this great online community today called Bored of Studies where students can write about their school. I read both positive & negative feedback from students about the library so am hoping to use the feedback in a constructive way to improve the technology situation in the library. This will be one of my first goals in my new position at the College.
