By Mrs Mary-Anne Driver, Library Aide

Last week in the library we had some budding anime artists who are encouraging each other with their drawing skills. 

The card game 21 has also been popular – it’s always great to see all year levels mingling and including each other in activities in the library.

Just a reminder – students are welcome to borrow books over the holidays and we encourage them to read for pleasure in their downtime. If your child finds it challenging to find a title they enjoy, please remind them that the library staff have a very good knowledge of our collection, and we believe that we have a book/magazine/graphic novel that will suit everyone!

Esports

Assumption College officially plays Esports!

Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games. Esports often takes the form of organised, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, individually or as teams.

On Friday March 25 2022, Miss Quinn and Mrs Wooding accompanied 16 keen Assumption College students to the QUT Gardens Point Campus to experience our first round of the QUT High Schools Esports League. Unfortunately, our competitor school was unable to attend; however, this turned out to be a bit of a boon for Assumption as our students were able to experience an intensive Esports experience with the full attention of the QUT trainers.  All students had the opportunity to participate in the 3 games: League of Legends, Rocket League and Overwatch.  We also had training in spectating (controlling the camera in-game), commentating and streaming, and were able to be coached by a professional Esports streamer. At the end of the day we faced off against the QUT esports volunteers, uni students who are part of the QUT varsity esports team.

If you’d like to see a little of what we got up to, follow this link to see a Twitch stream from the day: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1435933628?tt_medium=mobile_web_share&tt_content=vod

All attendees had a great day and we are looking forward to our continued participation in this competition.
