Our whare pukapuka is a friendly place where the school community can find resources for information, inspiration and enjoyment. Our teacher librarian, Mrs Wills, believes in the power of books to act as both mirrors and windows, giving us the chance to see ourselves reflected plus the opportunity to look out to other worlds. She loves picture books that are funny and books that make us think. 

 

The library is open at playtimes for students to enjoy reading, drawing, Lego and games. Students can access the catalogue online or ask a helpful student librarian when they need to find a book. Classes visit the library once a week and students can borrow between 1-4 books per week depending on their year level. Students learn how the library is organised and how to find what they need. They reinforce their literacy skills with fun material, in a relaxed setting. Mrs Wills also works with teachers to help find digital and physical resources to support their classroom programmes across a range of curriculum areas.

 

Each year we hold a Book Week, and we have authors visit to do presentations and workshops. Mrs Wills’ plans for 2026 are to expand our celebrations of cultural events and language weeks, and to invite local ECE providers to visit.
