Library News

This term in the library has been full of colour, creativity, and discovery through our exciting weekly themes!

We kicked things off with Animal Adventures, where students enjoyed exploring wild stories and fascinating facts about creatures big and small. Next, Colour Your World brought a burst of brightness to the library, celebrating the power of colour through a range of engaging books. During Harmony Week, we shared stories that highlighted diversity, inclusion, and kindness, helping students understand the importance of belonging. Most recently, our Forgotten Wonders display encouraged students to rediscover hidden gems—books that hadn’t been borrowed in a while but were full of amazing stories waiting to be enjoyed.

A very special thank you goes to our wonderful student library helpers:  

Their enthusiasm, responsibility, and willingness to lend a hand have made such a positive difference in keeping our library organised and welcoming. We truly appreciate all your hard work!

Congratulations to FHK for having the highest amount of borrows for Term 1, 2026 with a huge 341 borrows!

3KB came in second with 298 borrows followed by the rest of the Foundation classes all in the high 200s. Well done!

A reminder to please encourage students to bring back their overdue books by the end of this term – we currently have 316 loans overdue!!

We look forward to more exciting themes next term and continuing to inspire a love of reading in all our students.
