A huge congratulations to the 2 students who have already completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge! Indi-Rose Macklin Yr7 and Samantha Kurtz Yr9, your dedication to reading is inspiring, and we’re so proud of your achievement. For those still working through their lists—keep going! There’s still plenty of time, and we’re here to help you find books that spark your interest. We have been busy labelling our 7-9 PRC books in our catalogue to make it much easier to locate nominated books for the challenge. Most importantly don’t forget to log finished books onto the PRC portal before 22 August 2025.Please email the library if you need your log in details.

Building Our Fiction Collection – With Student Voice
As well as supporting curriculum needs, we’re steadily growing our fiction collection based on student recommendations and interests. Term 1 & 2 has seen a strong focus on Fantasy and Manga—genres that continue to be popular among our readers. We love hearing what students are enjoying, so please encourage them to keep sharing their suggestions!
In addition to our expanding fiction collection, the library also subscribes to a wide range of magazines. These cater to both personal interest reading and curriculum support, offering students a different style of reading that complements their learning and leisure. Whether you're into science, fishing, cooking, or creative arts, there's something for everyone. We’re proud to support all types of readers and aim to provide a rich, diverse collection that reflects the many interests of our school community.
Celebrating Important Days Through Literature
Throughout the year, we’ve been highlighting significant calendar events by showcasing books that amplify diverse voices. For International Women’s Day and Reconciliation Week, we featured titles that celebrate women authors and First Nations voices—encouraging students to engage with powerful stories and perspectives.
Book Returns – A Friendly Reminder
As we approach the end of Term 2, please note that all library books and class textbooks for Years 7–10 are due back by the end of the term. This helps us prepare for the next term and ensures resources are available for everyone. An email notice is sent to students in Week 9.
Thank you for your continued support in fostering a love of reading and learning in our school community. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
