Library - Polly Smart

Term Two is well and truly in full swing in the library. Students of all ages, including toddlers, have been returning and borrowing plenty of books, so lots of great reading is being done. There are also lots of regular readers from the wider community who regularly drop by. Leonie created a beautiful display to celebrate Mother’s Day and we hope the day was enjoyed and appreciated by all.

In addition to exploring information, books and authors, the library is also a place for learning and discussing all kinds of interesting things. Students have learned about the relationship between bogong moths and the pygmy possums of the Snowy Mountains, and the wonderful work of school students who helped to save them by a “lights-off” campaign and some delicious “bogong bickies”. Yura Muda lessons are sometimes held in the library too, and students have been learning about how stone tools were made, as well as how to make string and cord from grasses. Many students mastered the art with excellent results and lots of wrist-bands and cord for future projects were made.
