The St Roch’s library is a friendly, bustling, well loved learning space in our school. Promoting a love of literature and engaging students in reading are at the core of our library program and further enhance learning in the classrooms. Our students are enthusiastic about our lunch time Book Club, the Buddy Reading Program, Book Week Parade, Book Fair and The Great Book Swap on Indigenous Literacy Day. Workshops by visiting authors and illustrators are also organised throughout the year to enrich the learning of our students.

 

All classes have a timetabled Library session each week with a focus on reading for pleasure. During these lessons staff support students to:

• Borrow or return books

• Read, share and discuss a story

• Explain how the Library works

• Allow time for children to explore and enjoy the Library
