Love Your Library

Week 3 was ‘QLD School Library Week’ at Carmel, we celebrate it as ‘Love Your Library’ week.  To spread the library love we had a lolly guessing competition.  Congratulations to Lachlan in Year 10 for correctly guessing that there were 99 lollies in the jar.

URGENT: Third-Party Data Permission

Parents and caregivers would have received two slips regarding permission for student data.  In Slip 1, Provider 8 was for Campion, our new digital textbook platform.

There are multiple students who do not have access to the digital textbook platform because consent was not provided, or the section was left blank.  We have sent emails home to parents and caregivers of the relevant students as a reminder.

Redlands Library – Borrowing

Carmel College has an account with Redland Libraries, and we can borrow resources that aren’t on our catalogue.  If students are after a particular book, we can see if Redland Library has it and then put it on reserve and collect when available.

Library Instagram

The library has its very own Instagram account which shows all the amazing activities we have on offer, as well as upcoming competition.  We also share new resources and book reviews.
