Library Update

Hey there, explorers, creators, and knowledge seekers!

Welcome to your 2024 Learning Adventure!

Whether you are a new face or a returning champion, the library is thrilled to welcome you back for another amazing year of learning and discovery. Be ready to dive into fiction, embark on non-fiction journeys, and explore new worlds through graphic novels, audiobooks, and even virtual reality experiences!

Above all we have chess, puzzles, uno and a whole lot more.

Once again, no devices are allowed during lunch time every Wednesday, as it is our activity day. We encourage all students to come in and participate in our events or have a chat with other students. Our activities include but not limited to rock paintings, virtual reality, treasure hunts, dream catchers, badge making, quizzes, jewellery making, etc.

In the first two weeks of the term, the library has conducted orientation sessions with all Year 7, 8 and 9s English classes, preparing the students for their reading conference sessions. In a way this also encourages students to utilise the resources we have in our beautiful library. It is important to note that since school opened, more than 360 books have been borrowed. To all Year 7s, 8s and 9s... keep up the amazing work.

We have changed to a new library management system called AccessIt.

The students are finding it easy to use and easy to explore our collection. There are different carousels on the library webpage showing new books and different genres that we have. There is also some cool quiz about book characters and events that students will enjoy answering.

Feel free to come in, any time, WE ARE HERE TO HELP.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Dr Seuss
