Tests Passed For 2013
Since Harry Potter arrived many books
are now in series. I try my best to keep up
with book series and many I have obtained
through pre-ordering. For the series that I
know that have proved popular a second
copy has been purchased. The latest is
the House of Hades, book 4 in the series
Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan.
This year there has been many students
reserving books.

All the Accelerated Reader fiction books
have all been colour coded for different
reading levels and I have just started the
tedious job on the non-fiction collection.
Hopefully the backlog will be completed by
the end 2014. This process is on-going as
Accelerated Reader adds hundreds of titles
each month.
The AR Advantage Programme compulsory
for the Y7’s and Y8’s has been amazing
this year. Many students have gone up
in their levels. The class tests results are
exceptional. In 2013, 8UI has been the only
class to pass the most tests every single
term this year. Well done, that is awesome.
In term 3 8SU were the only class to pass
the same amount of tests sat – excellent.
Here are the results…

Acknowledgements
The library seems to get busier and busier
each year. I am lucky to have a volunteer – Jacki Sheehan who does all the
processing of the new books and does the
shelving, without Jacki my workload would
be nearly doubled.
A big thank you to
the Library Desk Assistants who helped
out on the issuing
desk and for those
who also shelve
books. Ben
Wallis leaves us
at the end of the
year, the last of
my original library team. Ben has
been a desk assistant since Y7 and I have
seen Ben grow into a polite young man. I
would like to take this opportunity to wish
him well in him future endeavours.
