Description

The Great Bennies Book Swap. Calling all students and staff to donate any pre-loved books from home, and swap for some ‘new’ preloved books!

How does it work?

Donate any preloved books to the library and in exchange you will be given Bennies Book Bucks.

1 book = 1 Bennies Book Buck

5 books = 5 Bennies Book Bucks

10 books = 10 Bennies Book Bucks.

Treat the bucks like real currency as if lost, they are lost forever.

On your Swap Day, come to the Library, peruse the pre-loved collection, choosing some great reads for yourself. If you have 1 Buck, then you could get 1 book. If you have 5 Bucks, then you could get 5 books etc.

Let’s all be good stewards in a fun and caring way. If you cannot use all your bucks, give to a friend and they may find something they like.

Swap Day for Students will be on Wednesday 18 September at lunchtime.

Swap Day for Staff will be on Thursday 19 September at lunchtime.

Guidelines for pre-loved books:

Books must be in good condition – no tears, marks, or damage.

Suitable books for ages 12 to Adult.

Maximum 10 books per person.

Any books at the end that are not swapped will be donated to charity.

The College Shop would appreciate assistance from our current Bennies mothers and grandmothers at the upcoming Year 7 2025 Uniform Fittings.

We are pleased to be able to offer face-to-face uniform fittings to our incoming Year 7 families.

In addition to assisting families with uniform fittings, volunteers will be an important part of welcoming our new families and strengthening our wonderful Bennies community.

Uniform Fitting Dates

Monday 26 August - Friday 13 September 2024

8am-1pm

You might volunteer for one day or multiple days over the three weeks.

This is also a great opportunity to meet and work alongside other parents/grandparents at the College.

Now that the MSB Centre renovation project is complete and in full use, we are excited to announce the next stage of the College master plan, with the renovation of the ground floor of A Block, which commenced during the term break. This building previously accommodated Student Services, Sick Bay and the Wellbeing Team. Upon completion in Term Four, we will introduce three additional TAS multi-purpose learning spaces, a dedicated Health Clinic, and upgraded offices for Student Services and the Wellbeing Team.

During this construction phase, Student Services and Sick Bay have temporarily relocated to the MSB Centre.

Please refer to the College Map and reference points below for detailed access information:

As the renovation of the MSB Centre and College car parks is now complete, please read these important traffic management safety reminders.

1. Restricted Vehicle Access to College Grounds:

Please do not enter the College grounds by car or block access to the College driveways on Pennant Hills Road and Hull Road between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm.

The Hull Road driveway is close to the corner of Pennant Hills Road, and staff and students regularly access this entry. Please do not use this driveway to turn around at any time.

2. Parking Regulations:

There is no parking access on College grounds during the school day unless prior approval has been given.

3. Safe Drop-Off and Pick-Up Areas:

Safe drop-off or pick-up areas include Hull Road, Loftus Road, Wilson Road, and the designated pick-up and drop-off zone on Killaloe Ave, Pennant Hills (at the rear of the North Connex depot).

Students must use the pedestrian access bridge to cross Pennant Hills Road.

Students arriving at the bus stop on Pennant Hills Road must use the zebra crossing to access the College. Students must not walk across the College's main driveway on Pennant Hills Road, as drivers have limited visibility.

Students are not to be dropped off on the College side of Beecroft Road or on Pennant Hills Road at any time.

Please be considerate of residential driveways when dropping off and picking up students and parking.

4. Use of Public Transport:

Students are encouraged to use public transport for travel to and from the College. The College also operates some private bus services and a shuttle to and from the Cherrybrook Metro Station.

5. Consideration for Local Community:

When driving is necessary, senior students are advised to be considerate of the local community when parking in residential areas.
