Research and support

The Library is, as always, here to support your child’s learning. The Maria Tirabosco Library offers access to digital databases, encyclopedias, newspapers and magazines, reading suggestions for Years 7-12, research tips and more.

Earlier this week, all students in Years 7-12 were sent emails containing links to reliable, age-appropriate resources. Please remind your child that further assistance, support, and advice is just an email away.  

CBCA Book Week challenge

As part of the Wide Reading Program, all Year 7-10 students have been invited to participate in the Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week (CBCA) challenge and competition. Since 1945, the CBCA has fostered and promoted quality Australian literature to young audiences aged 0-16 years. The students’ challenge is to read, critique and advocate for one of the 2021 CBCA listed novels.

Details of this years listed books and a writing scaffold can be found on each Year Group’s LibGuides iRead page.
