We’re on the record!The State Library of Queensland has started collecting and cataloguing PDF copies of the Yarrabah News.

State Library of Queensland Legal Deposit Coordinator Libby Fielding said there was significant value in having a newsletter such as the Yarrabah News in the context of the John Oxley Library collections, which is focussed on Queensland materials.

“Publications such as this one contribute significantly to Queensland’s documentary record and it is very important that we collect them for the benefit of researchers now and in the future,” she said.

“Materials acquired under legal deposit are collected for posterity - which means we make a commitment to preserve them for the future.

“In the case of electronic documents we are making provision for a technical solution which will allow us to format shift when a format (such as PDF) is superseded.

“Deposited issues will always be available to the general public regardless of what happens to the website on which they were originally hosted.”

Legal Deposit legislation established under the Libraries Act 1988 requires that a PDF copy of the Yarrabah News is lodged with the State Library within one month of its publication.To find the Yarrabah News on the SLQ catalogue see: http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au

CLONTARFOn Monday June 5 the Clontarf Board of Directors visited our school. Although the weather wasn’t in our favour, our visitors enjoyed a Welcome to Country and a tour of the academy rooms at each site. Clontarf are really starting to have an impact on student engagement and attendance. We have approximately 20 boys attending morning training session on Tuesday & Thursdays, followed by a healthy breakfast.

TRY FOR 5Monday June 5 was a busy day as we also hosted a visit from Matty Bowen and the Try for 5 team. Matty presented prizes to some of our highest attending students and spoke to classes at the primary campus about the importance of school attendance and having a healthy lifestyle. The visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

More in our next Issue!
