Student Library Book Requests

Students are encouraged to request books for the EDSC Library collection through our Book Orders program.

If the Library doesn’t have a book that a student would like to read, we will buy it for the Library, as long as the book is available, is not too expensive, and is appropriate for our collection.

Our Book Orders program ensures that our Library collection is responsive to students’ reading needs and preferences.

To order a book, students just need to fill out the simple ‘Order a Library Book’ form on our Library website. 

The Library places book orders once a month, and will email the requesting student when the new book arrives so that they can be the first person to borrow it.

We have a display in the Library of some of the great books that students ordered for the Library last year.  We look forward to receiving more book orders this year!

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge Update

What an effort – there are already 920 books read by 136 different students for the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge this year!

Another 10 students have finished the 15 books needed to attend our end-of-year celebration and receive a certificate from the Victorian Premier – congratulations to Enish G (8G), Aoife F (7C), Ella T (7C), Bonnie M (8C), Abdulla M (8J), Isabel V (8C), Ying F (7C), Salma G (8L), Katie B (8L) and Melody M (7H).

Congratulations also to Aoife of 7C who has won a canteen voucher in our second fortnightly random draw, just by entering their books into the Google Form on our Challenge webpage. 

This year, we are counting all the books Year 7 to 10 students (and school staff!) read from January 31 to September 2.

Students can read ANY books they like (excluding children’s picture books). We are awarding lots of individual prizes to students throughout the year to acknowledge reading efforts. 

All details and our leaderboard are on our new VPRC webpage.
