MS Library Hours
We are open Monday to Thursday lunchtimes, and Monday to Friday 8:10am and recess.
Lest we forget
It is ANZAC Day this Thursday. We will be off school to commemorate this important day, but we encourage you to choose a book from our display in the Library to learn more about how Australians have sacrificed for their country during wartime. We also look forward to seeing you at the Scotch College ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the playing fields. Come at 5:30am for pre-service contemplation and stay to purchase breakfast and coffee afterwards. Remember to register for the event at calendar.scotch.wa.edu.au.

Featured Book
A rose for the ANZAC boys
Jackie French
The 'War to end all Wars', as seen through the eyes of three young women It is 1915. War is being fought on a horrific scale in the trenches of France, but it might as well be a world away from sixteen-year-old New Zealander Midge Macpherson, at school in England learning to be a young lady. But the war is coming closer: Midge's brothers are in the army, and her twin, tim, is listed as 'missing' in the devastating defeat of the Anzac forces at Gallipoli . Desperate to do their bit - and avoid the boredom of school and the restrictions of Society - Midge and her friends Ethel and Anne start a canteen in France, caring for the endless flow of wounded soldiers returning from the front. Midge, recruited by the over-stretched ambulance service, is thrust into carnage and scenes of courage she could never have imagined. And when the war is over, all three girls - and their Anzac boys as well - discover that even going 'home' can be both strange and wonderful. Exhaustively researched but written with the lightest of touches, this is Jackie French at her very best.
