Library

This week the library has displayed some Year 8 Medieval models. They look amazing and range from catapults, castles, jousting events, swords and shields. Well done Year 8 on such incredible work.

In an effort to support students printing assignments, we are purchasing a wi-fi printer. This will enable students to print documents easier from their iPads. Stay tuned as the printer should be here by the end of term.

Events in the library soon - University of Wollongong student visit, white card training and a local High School teacher librarian professional development day. We are always happy to host events and support the community in any way we can.

Book borrowing continues to improve which is very pleasing. Keep up the good reading everyone! We should have some new titles on the shelf very soon.


Keep smiling and keep reading!

Young Entrepreneurs

High youth unemployment rates and concerns about Australia's future workforce as a gig economy (contract, temporary and freelance work) are encouraging many young people to create their own opportunities by starting their own business — but how do they develop the tools to do that?

If you have ever thought about building your own business, the information night at the Shoalhaven Regional Gallery on the 29th March might be a great opportunity to discover more about where to start.

The event is FREE but you need to reserve your place by registering at:

Construction White Card Course - 5th April 2019 - REGISTER NOW!

Students who intend to undertake work experience or a work placement in the construction area must obtain their “White Card” beforehand. If you are interested in obtaining your card, please see Miss McCarthy in the library ASAP to register for the training course on 5th April 2019.

Construction work is defined in Clause 3 of the NSW OHS Regulation 2001, and means any of the following:

    • Excavation
    • Building
    • Civil engineering

The following activities also require students to complete the WHS General Induction for Construction Work in NSW ('White Card"):

    • All the building trades including repairs carried out in houses (plumbing, electrical, carpentry and joinery, wall tiling, painting, plastering, concreting, paving)
    • Landscaping involving construction activity e.g. paving, concreting, drainage
    • Surveying related to a building and construction site. Surveying prior to commencement of construction is exempt
    • Maintenance work
    • Installation of air conditioning, security systems, fire sprinkler systems, fire doors, glass
    • Installation of kitchens and cabinets etc. (Note that working in a factory which manufactures cupboards does not require the OHS for the construction industry, but installation of the cupboards does require it. Students can work in a factory and then observe the installation of the site.)
    • Installation of vertical blinds
    • Fencing
    • Construction of dams
