Library Initiatives
All Year 7 and 8 students have one period fortnightly, where they will be introduced to a range of skills, both ICT and literacy related as well as time to read. This program supports literacy and ICT aspects of the general capabilities within the Western Australian Curriculum.
Year 7 and 8 students will participate in a range of activities around reading including the West Australian Young Readers Book Awards ( WAYRBA) and the Premiers Reading Challenge. Remember to keep an eye on seqta notices and the school bytes for any exciting news.
Our bookclub is open to all staff and students. We meet several times during each term on Friday Break 2.
Keep an eye on the notice board outside the library and in the school notices and Bytes for further information.

This is a great opportunity for students to do their homework. It is important that students who attend have homework to complete.
