Snowtown School Community Library launched its membership of
the One Card system on Tuesday 29th July 2014. The event was well
attended with the official party comprising the Honourable Geoff Brock,
Minister for Local Government and Regional Development, Darryl Ottens, Deputy
Mayor of the Wakefield Regional Council, John Brock, student winner of
the child borrower card design competition and Fione Love, Principal of
Snowtown Primary School.
Greg King introduced the official party to a gathering of
students and community members who attended the launch. The official
launch was performed by Darryl Ottens who extolled the benefits of having a
library service in small rural towns such as Snowtown. Geoff Brock added
to this in his speech, by further explaining the benefits to the community of
stronger regional growth and the strength and value of the One Card
concept.
Geoff then presented student John Brock, with his borrower
card that has his design printed onto it.
Principal, Fione Love then explained the work that the school had been doing around building co-operation and resilience in the children and invited guests to view some of the games that had been used to develop these skills. After watching the students demonstrate several games, guests were invited to participate. With little urging required, Geoff Brock soon formed a team and joined in with the events.
A morning tea followed where visitors had the opportunity to
be escorted by students through the classrooms where they were able to show the
learning that they had been involved in. It was a great launch that
involved all sections of the Snowtown community and was well supported.
