Good Luck to our IB 12's!

All the best to our IB 12 students as they head into oral exams.  Theatre 12 begins tomorrow, and World Languages start Monday, and carry on for two weeks. The finale will include English, which takes place in early March. 

Welcome Langara Library Tech Students & Staff!

Today, Richmond Secondary's Library is hosting the students from Langara's Library Tech program.  This is an annual visit whereby we showcase not only our school and library programs, but also encourage prospective candidates as Library Technicians in our School District.

Many thanks to Ms. McKenzie and Ms. Burdak for all their efforts in coordinating this delightful event!  And best wishes and good luck to the future grads!

Holiday Wishes!

Just a reminder that our new book selections are available for the holiday reading.  If you're looking for something of interest, come check them out @ the Library!

To all our families and friends of Richmond Secondary's community, the Library Staff would like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2013!

Thank You to all the Library Elves!

On Friday, December 7th, the Library hosted its annual Christmas-Winterfest party at lunch.  If you've visited the Library of late, you'll have noticed that it is quite decked out for the holidays. Thanks to Ms. McKenzie and all the monitors, who have made snowmen and reindeer decorations for all staff and students to enjoy.

Our Senior Monitors were also responsible for organizing both the Staff invitations, as well as the entertainment.  We have a very talented musical community at RHS, and the students' renditions of "Rudolph" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" were a delight to all!

Many thanks to everyone who took part in our "Friends of the Library" event!

A Day of Remembrance

Many thanks must go out to all students and staff who presented a wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives for the sake of others. It is with our loved ones in mind that we are grateful for the peaceful nation that we have, and hopefully may continue to have well into the future.

Annual Hallowe'en Party!

On Friday the Library Club held its annual Hallowe'en party!  Delightful goodies and treats were prepared by Ms. McKenzie, and the students participated in some classic, but fun party games.  Nothing too spooky, but lots of fun!  No doubt, everyone will be in costume on Wednesday....

Thanks to Jeyn Roberts!

Both staff and students enjoyed Jeyn Roberts' presentation immensely on Monday.  Not only did she discuss the whole process of writing novels and having them published, but also Jeyn explained the details behind the scenes.  It was fascinating to hear how one may make a living at writing, how potential books become the "chosen ones," as well as the possibilities of one's work becoming a film. This discussion allowed a window into a world not normally known of to everyday people.  Thus it was quite delightful!

Jeyn found the questions inspiring and thought provoking, some of which she clearly had never encountered!  So a good session was had by all!
