WELCOME TO THE NEWCOMB SECONDARY COLLEGE LIBRARY SPRING NEWSLETTER

NEWCOMB SECONDARY COLLEGE MINECRAFT REPLICA COMPETITION
Calling all Minecraft and creatives. I would like to offer you the opportunity to take part in our inaugural NSC Minecraft replica competition.

You can complete the mission by yourself or with a group of friends (when you're not doing your school work!) Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to complete a Minecraft replica of our school. 

Entries close on the 28th of October with a presentation of the finished products. Prizes and a lunch of your choice to be won.

See Minecraft school creation ABC BTN for an example and inspiration. Feel free to send me some photos in the meantime.

EBOOKS AND AUDIO BOOKS
Don't forget we have access to over 1500 eBooks and audio books via our cloud based Library system and Sora app. So get reading, it's a great way to relax. I can also purchase more titles, so if there is a book you would like to read online, just send me an email.

This is the link to browse your next read. Look for the eBook sign.
