Library

Yesterday Glenda and Jan from the National Library came to our staff meeting to work with us on the revitalisation of our library. They arrived early and first worked with our Year 8 librarians. They were most impressed with the ideas and enthusiasm of our year eights and told us they were a real credit to the school.

We had a wonderful staff meeting where we discussed ideas and options and had a book cull to bring our collection more in line with what we want. It was one of the longest staff meetings we've had and one of the most enjoyable as we all came across, and shared, our favourites from yesteryear.

I worked with the year 6s after our cooking session this morning to continue the library work and the Yr 8 librarians worked in there this afternoon.

It is important to have this range of involvement across the school as it gives ownership to the area and draws on everyone's skills and abilities.

We are pleased with the progress we have made so far and we look forward to the continuing development of this area, led now by the Year 8 Librarians.

As part of our work with Jan and Glenda there were a few tasks that came up and we would love to hear from anyone in the community who may have the time to do such things as labeling and sorting.
