The Great Bennies Book Swap 18-19 September
The Great Bennies Book Swap 18-19 September
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.
Summer Uniform
Summer Uniform
Students will change to summer uniform on the first day of Term Four, Tuesday 15 October.
Please check your summer uniform and come in to purchase any additional items you may require or order them though the Flexischools website. As we will be outfitting the new Year 7 2025 cohort in week 6 through to Week 9 this term, the Shop will only be open to existing students at lunchtime and after school from Week 6.
For all those students who have purchased the College Winter Pants, you are allowed to wear these in the summer terms until the new College Summer Pants are introduced. If you wish to wear the pants, seniors can wear them with their senior summer blouse and juniors with the junior summer blouse.
New students to the College in Terms Two and Three should pop in and see us either at lunch time or after school if you would like a uniform fitting.
A reminder that the College Shop opening days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
