Library
Welcome to the Discovery School Library,
My name is Donnella Matchett and I am the Library Manager here at Discovery School. I am very passionate about literacy and engaging children to develop a lifelong passion for reading. I truly believe that children's reading skills are important to their success in school as it helps them to improve their communication and language skills. In addition, reading can be a fun and imaginative time for children, opening doors to all kinds of new and exciting worlds for them.
On this page you will be able to keep track of what's happening in the library during the term and see all the different displays that I do to try work in with the school curriculum.
Thank you
Mrs Matchett

We provide a vast selection of books across all genres and believe the library is a safe and inclusive environment for all.
ANZAC DAY
Here is our ANZAC display for the library. The children are able to colour an anzac poppy for a school wreath that will be displayed on the library door.
The new Year 7/8 area is now complete. All the blue dot senior/young adult books are found here, it's important for senior students to have their "own" in the library specifically set and designed for them.
