Our school library is a precious and highly valued space.
A vibrant hub of learning, stories and exploration, the library provides a welcoming place to meet, collaborate, research, relax and improve information literacy.
It empowers students to be imaginative and critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and discerning researchers. Our library is a place where curiosity is nurtured.
Staff foster a culture where reading is encouraged and celebrated, and texts are deeply valued for their ability to help students understand themselves and their world. This ‘reading culture’ contributes positively to students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Our students can access authentic, age-appropriate resources at any time through the Oliver library management system and ACEN digital library’s Sora app.
At Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Primary School Sefton, we have a contemporary library space where the culture of reading is nurtured. The library is well-resourced to promote the value of reading. Initiatives include:
- participation in the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC)
- Book Week activities such as author visits
- Book Fair
- Scholastic Book Club
