Library News

The school library is a wonderful hub of learning and discovery where all students are welcome.

Other than offering books, computers and resources, the library is a safe space where students are encouraged to think, create and share information with their friends. Respect for other library users and the resources is something we value at our College.

Wonder

by R J Palacio (Find me in the Contemporary/ Modern Day/ Realistic section)

The acclaimed book about kindness and difference that everyone should read.

Auggie is a 10-year-old boy with a terrible facial abnormality who just wants to be treated like the normal person he is. After being homeschooled, this is the story of his first year at school and the friends he finds there. Funny, sad, warm and ultimately uplifting!
