Riccarton High School Pacific Studies Class Visit MB

Highlighted on Library news, was another successful visit to Macmillan Brown Library by the year 10-13 Pacific studies class from Riccarton High School.

Te Rua: Sustainability, 3D-printed Catan & more!

The Te Rua team hosted a casual gaming afternoon this month, with a big range on offer: from quick and easy card games to a 3D-printed version of Catan! The team also had a stall at the sustainability expo at the beginning of the month where students were shown how the makerspace holds a multitude of resources to reuse, upcycle and be creative in sustainable ways.

 

Notable Canta mention

This month PJH was lucky enough to get a mention in a recent edition of Canta, quoted as the “beloved Puaka-James library”. It’s always great to be reminded that the students do think fondly of our libraries!
