LIBRARY

WELCOME BACK

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back for 2025 and a special welcome to new students including our Year 7s.

 

Since we have returned to school, library staff have been busy with classes visiting the library and getting acquainted with the library space and resources. 

 

I look forward to seeing all our familiar faces and new faces in the library!
