eBooks, eAudio Books and Online Resources
Well done to all the students who managed to read some books in Term One. Congratulations to all 95 students who successfully completed our Bookflix Competition and achieved merits for reading at least five books in Term One.
Keep up the good work, everyone. Don’t forget to continue reading in Term Two!
Reading is an excellent alternative to playing online games, and is a great recreational activity.
The Rua Resource Centre subscribes to over 2,500 eBooks and eAudio Books. We encourage all students to read at least 30 minutes per day in Term Two. Please follow our instructions below to access our eBook library.
The Rua Resource Centre also subscribes to some electronic resources designed to help you with your curriculum studies. You can browse through these resources by following this link.
