The Mater Dei Library is a purpose‑built, open learning space where students and teachers branch out in their learning. As an extension of the classroom, teachers use the library in diverse and flexible ways — for inquiry learning, small‑group collaboration, STEM exploration, Chess and Language classes, parent information sessions, and staff professional development.
Each year, students delight in our Book Week celebrations, including visiting authors and the much‑loved book character parade. They also enjoy regular opportunities for book borrowing and proudly take part in the Premier’s Reading Challenge, fostering a lifelong love of reading.
Our school library is a precious and highly valued space.
A vibrant hub of learning, stories and exploration, the library provides a welcoming place to meet, collaborate, research, relax and improve information literacy.
It empowers students to be imaginative and critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and discerning researchers. Our library is a place where curiosity is nurtured.
Staff foster a culture where reading is encouraged and celebrated, and texts are deeply valued for their ability to help students understand themselves and their world. This ‘reading culture’ contributes positively to students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Our students can access authentic, age-appropriate resources at any time through the Oliver library management system and ACEN digital library’s Sora app.
