Library News

📚 Welcome Back to the Claude Brand Library at Horsham College!

We’ve kicked off 2026 with an exciting Year 7 Bootcamp 🎒✨All Year 7 classes participated in a library information session, where they explored everything the library has to offer. Students learned how to borrow resources 📖, navigate the Library Portal 💻, manage their library profiles, and access digital content through ePlatform and ClickView 🎧🎬. They also discovered the fantastic borrowing privileges the HC Library offers free of charge to all students 🙌

It’s been great to see so many Year 7s already making the most of the library space during recess and lunchtime 🌞📚. Whether they’re borrowing books, enjoying some quiet reading 🤫📖, studying ✍️, or connecting with like-minded peers 🤝, the library is quickly becoming a favourite spot — especially in this heat! 🥵❄️

🔥 Wednesdays with the Creekers 🔥

Wednesdays have also seen the return of the Creekers to the library for 2026 🎉Each week, the HC CB Library welcomes the Creekers to dive into books 📚, borrow new reads, play games 🎲, and chat about their latest finds — all while enjoying Yolande’s famous toasties! 🧀🥪
