Library
"If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book." J.K Rowling
A library isn't a library until there is activity, chatter and a great vibe. The vibe returned with the 12s at the start of term 4 as they bounced questions and ideas off each other while studying for exams, it is now a loud buzz with the return of the 7-9 students at Bluff Road.
Students at Sandringham College love to read and this was evident as students took advantage of the many platforms we had on offer such during lockdown. Usage of eBooks and audiobooks increased and we kept Australia Post busy with our book delivery service. To view books students are borrowing head over to the library website and click on catalogue. Once there you will be able to view the last 50 books borrowed as well as the newest 50 books to hit the shelves.
