National Reconciliation Week

2024 - Now More Than Ever

This week we recognise 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 6th 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. To read the Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklist and for more information, visit https://www.vic.gov.au/premiers-reading-challenge
