My book recommendation is “On The Beach ” by Nevil Shute ( which I read in year 11 in 1976 ). I recall Brother Patrick our Dorm Master recommended it at the time. We all had access to his extensive collection of novels.

The book describes the end of the World ( or at least the human race ) as a result of nuclear war in the northern hemisphere , and much of it is situated in southern Australia. It gives you a good reason to vote and for keeping our politicians honest.
