Our library is really popular, even though we have enrolled every student on Sora, the digital library, we are please to see that our students still love to read physical books. Should your child still not be able to access Sora, please come see us at the library for help. Our families of younger students report that they are really enjoying the audio books.
Here are some statistics that confirm our students enjoy our library. Since the beginning of the year we have added 590 books to our collection. During May we lent out 6447 books to our students.

We will be offering the opportunity for students to sit the ICAS tests for English, Mathematics, Science and Spelling at our school.
What is ICAS?
ICAS is an online academic competition that gives students the opportunity to challenge their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee, and Digital Technologies.
Every student who participates is celebrated and recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area, and an online results report to track development each year. Top performers are eligible for one of the highly coveted ICAS medals.
