This week the Library has been humming as all the Year 7, 8 and 9 classes have selected library books to read over the summer break.
The benefits of reading are well documented, as are the advantages for students who continue to read during our long summer holidays. If literacy skills are not used for a period of time, skill levels can stagnate or decline, even in avid readers if they are not keeping up their reading habit. Our Summer Book Bags aim to prevent this 'summer slide' by providing a variety of books and magazines to enjoy over the break.
Students will also find a few treats, some information about using our ePlatform for ebooks and audiobooks, and a personalised Summer Reading Tracker competition form in their bags. We have issued more than 1,300 books for the holidays this year, so McGlashan students and staff are very well prepared for some exciting reading adventures!
Each student's Summer Book Bag contains a list of the books on issue to them. Please ensure all books and the bags are returned to the library on the first day of school in 2026.
We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone in the library again in 2026.
Mrs Carole Gardiner and Mrs Victoria Watts.
