We have been having a great time doing all sorts of activities in the library. We loved seeing students getting into chess, craft, Lego creation and library jobs among other things! Aiden’s magnificent Lego tower is getting taller at a rapid pace, and we can’t wait to see what it will look like when it is finished! Our library helpers do wonderful things behind the scenes to assist us in ensuring our books have all the right stickers and can be found by other students!

As our new cohort of Year 7s settle into ACW life, they will have two sessions in the library. One is all about their new devices and how to print, access our library ap, (AccessIt) and details about borrowing ebooks and audio books. The other session is all about our physical space, where to find a book, how to borrow, how to request a book and our other library services (homework help, a space to chill, be with friends). This is the springboard to positive use of books, and online skills needed for research as they progress through their years of learning.
