Allison Lee – Head of Library & Information Services (7-12) | HSIE Teacher

Welcome back, everyone, and a warm welcome to our new Year 7 cohort.

Several changes have occurred since your departure in 2023, and upon entering the Senior Library, we hope you’ll discover a welcoming and inviting space for you to enjoy even more.

The senior study carrels have all been relocated to the former Primary School Library (now called K10), providing more space for all of us. We’ve added new shelves stocked with photography, fashion, and art books. Colouful trolleys have been added, featuring books, jigsaw puzzles and Lego sets. Of course, our regular games table is equipped with Cluedo, cards, and much more. We now have two magazine racks with a variety of reads, including the New Philosopher, Marie Claire, BBC History, and Frankie, among others. Feel free to drop by during recess or lunchtime to read a book, play a game with your friends, grab some Lego and build a creation solo or with a team, peruse a music magazine, or flip through a photography book.

We’ve also set up a new book display to capture your attention, showcasing our latest additions to the collection, along with a rotating display based on different themes.

This term, we plan to host more classes for lessons in our library, and we eagerly await the return of our English classes for their Wide Reading Program.

Minecraft Club continues on Mondays and Fridays at lunchtime in L04.

Students can use L04 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for quiet study.

Finally, a friendly reminder that we have a subscription to ebooks and audiobooks through Eplatform, available for all students and staff via the Library website.

We look forward to seeing you.
