Clubs@TheLibrary

The Library is a vibrant place; a place of learning, of socialisation, a place of quiet reflection, or a place to participate in the many clubs that the library has to offer.

Junior Bookclub.

The library hosts many clubs; some held within the library and some in the rooms surrounding the library. Although facilitated by library staff, many of the clubs lend themselves to being student led, extending the opportunity for students to achieve, in time, a library badge.

Monday lunch is Makerspace in the library with Mrs Denford. From card making to Christmas craft, bookmarks to origami and even gardening; the only obstacle is your imagination. Suggestions and feedback are welcome, as Makerspace is always on the lookout for new ideas.

Tuesday recess is the Junior Bookclub with Mrs Roberston. The current read is the Children's Classic 'A Wrinkle in Time', and every meeting is an opportunity to discuss the storyline.

Wednesday recess is Creative Writing club in the library with Mrs Robertson. Members are inspired by a short prompt, an image or an idea. Wednesday lunchtime is Tech/Science club with Mrs Denford and here the girls embrace all that is Tech. Minecraft, Sphero's, coding or problem solving on a large scale; nothing is impossible.

Thursday recess is Senior Bookclub with Mrs Robertson and membership to this club has increased so dramatically that the cohort has been split into two, with one group reading 'Love Lie Repeat' and the other reading 'It sounded better in my head'; both young adult novels by Australian authors. Discussions surrounding both titles have been thoughtful and impressive. Thursday lunchtime sees two clubs running simultaneously: The chess club in the library with Mr Bettiol, and KPop in room D24 with Mrs Harradine. KPop is a very keen group of students who are passionate about all facets of Korean pop.

Friday luchtime with Mrs Harradine in room D24 is Anime club, where the ladies view and discuss the Japanese medium Anime. They watch movies and clips, listen to soundtracks, run quizzes, and have a lively discussion based on their common passion for Anime.

All are welcome to join these clubs. Please see the library staff if you are interested. We look forward to seeing you there.
