Break Schedule

Commencing on Tuesday 14th March, we have implemented a year level schedule for the Library at recess and lunch breaks.  

This allows for all year levels to access the space in a more efficient and structured way for borrowing and activities.  

There are opportunities for a Library pass, if you are a Library monitor and help in this space.

It's Back! Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is back for 2024

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Surf Coast Secondary College is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

• Access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• A modern user-friendly interface
• Rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
• The option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 8 September 2023.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
