Library News

It’s been a great start to the year in our libraries, with students engaging in reading, borrowing, and helping us grow a strong reading culture across campuses. We’ve established a solid base for our main collections and continue to build on these with resources that support both curriculum and reading for pleasure.

At Junior Campus, students have been visiting the library regularly as part of their English classes. It’s been encouraging to see pupils exploring new books and developing their reading habits.  At the Senior Campus, while borrowing will be a focus for Semester 2, students now have access to the library during Homework Club. This offers a new opportunity to browse and borrow, and the library team are looking forward to seeing it develop further. A reminder that students also have access to our digital library which is available 24/7. It’s a great way to borrow eBooks and audiobooks, anytime, anywhere.

Across our libraries we’ve been supporting the English Literacy Assistant Principal and are thrilled to see students participating in Book Clubs and the Premiers’ Reading Challenge, both of which encourage reading in engaging and social ways. Looking ahead, we are keen to launch a Suggestions Box where students can share ideas for books they’d like to see in the library as well as displaying student recommendations in the student picks display. Teachers will be encouraged to share their recommendations too.
