Reading+Program

library@olmc Reading Program

All Year 7 and 8 English classes are booked into the library for a lesson each cycle. Some classes come for the entire 75 minute lesson, others choose to use only part of the lesson. These bookings are permanent bookings made on the Library Booking system on the Portal.

The library staff work with the English teachers to promote reading as a recreational interest. The development of a reading culture at the College is seen as a vital part of our work; to develop the girls as independent learners and readers and to develop their overall literacy standards.

The teacher librarians have developed a series of lessons to introduce a range of genre, authors and books to students. These work with the novels studied in class, promote popular titles and genres. Participation in the Premier's Reading Challenge has been a compulsory activity for Year 7 and 8 students and an option for students in Years 9 and 10.

The programs are updated each year to reflect changing interests, new additions to the collection and to wider the reading options for the students.
