Library News:

As we are in this transitional stage of returning to school we are required to take extra precautions around hygiene.

We cannot risk loaning books at this time of transition, however, libraries are more than just the printed books that sit on shelves.

They are also digital spaces and in our Diocese we have access to the ebook collection through the SORA platform.

This app can be downloaded from the iTunes or Google Play store.

All classes from Years 1 - 6 can access SORA with their CENet Details and we will be looking at the SORA app in the library on their focus group day. This fortnight’s must do is to download this app and to explore the many different types of books that are available through SORA. When you go to the library homepage link https://oliver1.dow.catholic.edu.au/oliver/home/news, there is an information box for SORA.This information box has links to documents that assist in downloading the app, logging in and returning the books before the due date.

For students doing the Premier’s Reading Challenge, there is a category for Premier’s Reading Challenge but students will still need to check that it matches the right challenge level. Some students are saying they can’t complete their Premier’s Reading Challenge because they don’t have access to their reading log. This can be fixed when students come to school for their focus day. If your child is not returning and having trouble then they can just download the reading log from the Premier’s Reading Challenge site and keep a track of what is read. We will assist them entering their data on their return to school. If ever there was a time for encouraging a love of reading every day, it is now. Please encourage your student to stay motivated and keep reading.
