Library

Another great year here at Pukekohe High School Library! Of course, 2020 has brought with it a few challenges, namely Covid 19, but sensible heads, positivity and enthusiasm have made those challenges easier to manage. The school library was set to go for home learning during lockdowns, our Web App regularly updated with resources and ‘boredom busters’ and the ever-expanding selection of eBooks and audiobooks already available to all students and staff. We also added ‘World Book Online’ to our library offerings, which allows students access to a huge online resource 24/7 and includes some fantastic eBooks - this proved useful during home study this year and is still available now.

The library now has 2 Nintendo Switch Lite and a selection of games to offer students at interval and lunchtime which have proved hugely popular. We plan to add more games next year and hope to start a games lending library – Watch this space.

Chess is still very popular, and we have added some sets of dominoes. Connect 4 has made a welcome appearance as it offers the chance of multiple quick games in an interval or lunchtime. We have plans to expand the collection of games into 2021 and beyond.

AND, in true library style, we have books - over 12000 of them on the shelves!

Our library is a fantastic community within the school and a very popular place to be.

This year our librarians have been a strong and awesome team of 14.

Briana, Jayden, Sophie, Eunby, Lily, Jimmy, Johan,

Mahmoud, Jind and Anneliese and in 2020 we welcome Jacob, Jayden, Andy and Hamish to the team!

Mrs Gray and Ms Tilley say a HUGE THANK YOU!
