Holy Family Catholic Primary School Menai encourages a love of reading. Our vibrant, refurbished library has a wide variety of quality, engaging books and technology explore online literature and resources. There are many ways in which Holy Family champions reading through our library. The Bright Start Reading program involves the Year 6 students partnering with Kindergarten students to help them practice their reading and is held in the library on Friday mornings before school. Each year, students can choose to participate in the Premier’s Reading Challenge which runs between March and August. Holy Family has a rich history of celebrating Book Week with performances, costume parades, activities and book drives.
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.
