Library News

Welcome to Beth Hogan - Digital Librarian

My name is Beth Hogan and I am new to Wangaratta High School! I have enjoyed settling into my new role as the school librarian this term and am pleased to see so many students making good use of our library space.

A new games and colouring station has been introduced for students to enjoy during break times, and it has been wonderful to see such positive engagement. I welcome any suggestions on how we can continue to improve and enhance the library for our school community.

A friendly reminder to all students to please return any overdue library books as soon as possible. Additionally, any borrowed laptops should be returned at the end of the year.

Thank you for your support as we continue to make the library a place where everyone feels welcome and inspired to learn.

Kind regards,
Beth Hogan
