National Reconciliation Week
2025 - Bridging Now to Next
Last week we recognised National Reconciliation Week with a book display, screening and school installation activity all happening in the library. We have some great books to learn more about reconciliation and check out our growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island collection in biographies, non-fiction and fiction.
Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
The Challenge is now open until 5th September and Glen Eira College is excited to be participating. Students can check their Year Level Google Classrooms or pop into the library to find out more.
