Beyond the Books: A Look Inside Our Library

香港六合彩资料大全 Librar

Our love of the library extends beyond books. Once you pass the entrance, you鈥檙e transported into a world of possibility where critical thinking combines with creativity to spark imagination and ignite a love of learning. 

We sat down with Head of Library and Information Services, Mrs Nadia Merchant to uncover what makes the 香港六合彩资料大全 library so special. 

Reading between the lines

Whether you鈥檙e in Junior School or Senior College, the 香港六合彩资料大全 library is known as an open, inviting and inclusive space, offering something for everyone.  

In the Middle School, Years 7 鈥 9 have had a specific focus on literacy. To promote deep learning, tailored to each student, the library surveyed them on their reading styles, habits and preferences.

鈥淎n interesting finding was that, for some students, one of the only times they read is in the library. We saw this as a unique opportunity to ignite and extend their love of reading,鈥 Mrs Merchant said. 

鈥淲e restructured our teaching to allow for dedicated reading times and have combined this with suggestions of books for each student based on their previous reading.

鈥淭his process has allowed us to connect with students individually and helped foster their thirst for knowledge. If I get new books now, I know who to earmark them for or who to suggest them to. These personal connections make all the difference!鈥

Thinking outside the book

Recent enhancements to the online digital library have opened a doorway to thousands more books than could ever be housed physically. 
鈥淥ur extended online digital library, with two additional eBook platforms, means we can curate texts for extended learning opportunities. 

鈥淪ources can be collated for our students in a range of broad subject areas. In Religion of the World for example, we have curated a centralised page with links to online resources for each different religion, as well as video and other multimedia content for a comprehensive learning opportunity. 

鈥淎s they get older, students are taught information skills so that they can easily navigate our digital library and critically select their own sources for use across the curriculum.

鈥淚t has also meant that students who have dyslexia or other learning needs, have greater access to information in different formats whether that be physical, audio or visual 鈥 enhancing and extending learning opportunities.鈥

鈥楽hhh鈥-aring space

More than a source of storytelling or information gathering, the library is a haven for students to connect, even after the school day is done. 

On average 100 students from the Junior School to the Senior College venture through the doors each afternoon.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a safe, quiet space where our students can read, do homework and study. During break times, children from different peer groups interact, help each other and engage in games, all overseen by our dedicated teacher librarians,鈥 Mrs Merchant said.

A novel idea

Masters of creativity, the library team are always writing up unique initiatives to keep students involved in literature. 

Valentine鈥檚 Day was also Library Lovers Day where students were invited to go on a blind date with a book, giving a new meaning to the saying 鈥榙on鈥檛 judge a book by it鈥檚 cover鈥. 

Book week

In Book Bingo students pick a number tile which corresponds to an extract of a book. Each tile represents a different opportunity to discover new authors and genres, with the mission to mark off an entire row for a prize. 

The Creative Book Challenge uses intriguing prompts such as 鈥楢 book that was written by someone under 30鈥 or 鈥楢 book becoming a TV series鈥 to get students reading.
