Keep on Reading!
Reading has so many benefits beyond supporting your child’s education. It can: reduce anxiety and tension, reduce feelings of loneliness and aids relaxation. So, please let’s keep our children reading!
Students can access our library via Oliver where they can log in to their library account and leave book reviews. Follow the links if your child is on the Reading Eggs or IDL program.
