STUDENT ID CARDS
We kindly encourage all students to bring their student ID cards when visiting the library. These cards are helpful for efficiently processing book loans and simplify the photocopying and scanning services available to students.
BOOK WEEK
Between Saturday 22 August to Friday 28 August, the entire school celebrated Book Week. The 2026 Children’s Book Week theme was ‘Symphony of Stories’.
This year, the library team surveyed our teachers and staff about their favourite books and created book displays in the library.
We asked our staff, “Which book would you love every student at our school to read? A book you think has an important message or is simply too good to miss.”
Our staff recommendations included:
Little Womenby Louisa May Alcott
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
The Great Gatsbyby F Scott Fitzgerald
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku
My Place by Sally Morgan
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Hunger Gamesby Suzanne Collins
