National Youth Week Australia

To all our JCU students and staff under the age of 25 (and older than 12), April 5th to April 14th is your week of recognition National Youth Week. And you even have a rocking elder member of our community, front man of rock band Midnight Oil and now Federal Minister for Youth Peter Garrett as your minister.

So in a ham-fisted attempt to get you to look at our library collection here is an e-book of interest, Children and Young People at Risk by Justin Healey. Remember many titles are available as hard copy (actual physical books) and are under a separate catalogue record. So if you want a physical item and are confused about how to see if we have one, feel free to ask at our Infohelp counter .

You may also be interested in reading some of the theses An investigation into adolescent male spirituality in Catholic schools in the Edmund Rice tradition : examining the implications of incorporating spirituality into counselling / by Paul R. Conn. The online version of theses are sometimes accessible to all JCU staff and students to read online and this is more convenient than the physical copy which is not normally lent out.

We also have music CDs, if you want to check out some Oz Rock and Pop.
