Murder Mystery Game
It is time to celebrate all things spooky as we head into the Halloween season.
The Mercy Library is hosting a Murder Mystery game based on the book My Family and Other Suspects by Kate Emery. It is a fun book that keeps you guessing until the final pages, and this game will also keep students guessing.
Students are invited to come into the library and take on the detective role and see if they can solve the clues. Already there has been much discussion about who the nefarious killer could be of the beloved (or maybe not so beloved) grandmother.
Watch the following trailer for more hints about who may have murdered the family matriarch, GG. https://studio.youtube.com/video/dU5aq6JLo1w/edit
Meanwhile, keep looking out in upcoming newsletter editions as the library decorates for the unique Jacaranda and Halloween combo - Jacaween.
ClickView
As the Social media delay comes closer, teachers and students are concerned about where they can access high-quality, AV educational material.
Our school subscribes to Clickview which has had a revamp over the last few years and is well placed to offer Australian curriculum-based material for students in high school which are subject and topic specific.
Clickview has supplied the attached information about the benefits of accessing their high-quality educational material.
Donation
Thank you very much to teacher, Mr. Tim Treanor for his generous donation to the library of a coffee table with a leather chess board inlay. Tim found this exquisite coffee table over the holidays and rushed out to buy it for the library.
As an extra note, the chess table was made by Gympie potter and artist, Peter Wallace who obviously has an eye for detail and the aesthetic.
We cannot thank him enough for his kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness, and giving the students in the school this wonderful gift. We hope all of our chess players enjoy the use of this beautiful space.
