Vanier Learning Commons News
The Vanier Learning Commons is a vital part of the school! The Commons is open from 8:00 am to 4:15 pm every day. You can read books from our amazing collection, get help to complete your assignments, do research using our print or digital resources, use the green screen room, record a podcast, use a laptop, borrow our coding supplies, play chess or just hang out with friends. Teacher - librarian Ms. Clarke is always available to help…just ask!
Ms. Clarke’s recipe for a great school year:
These textbooks are needed for courses being taught this year. Don’t deny other students the chance to learn all of the fantastic things that you did. Remember: overdue books will remain on your record until the book is brought back or payment is made. Start this year off with a clean slate!
MAKE YOUR MARK - enter our bookmark contest!
The Vanier Learning Commons is holding a contest to choose a new school bookmark. You have until Wednesday, September 18th to doodle, draw or paint your way to fame. The winner will be announced on Friday, September 23 and will receive a gift certificate from Mac’s Books. October is Canadian Library Month so BOOK it down to the Learning Commons and pick up an entry form today!
