Your School Library
In Larkin Community College there is always Room For Reading!
Our students have access to high quality library run by a qualified librarian.
It is open before school, at lunchtime and after school and students regularly have classes in the library setting.
Since it opened as part of the JCSP Demonstration Library Project in 2001 staff and students in our school have read and borrowed 7000 books.
| All our students are expected to read on a regular basis and borrowing books is part of daily life in our school. The library in Larkin Community College plays host to shared reading, paired reading, story telling, read-a-long books and tapes, games, quizzes, research, treasure hunts, book reviewing, homework, career advice, and quiet reading classes. This space has quickly become the heart of the school where our students choose to come in their free time. It is a dynamic space in an equally dynamic school. |  |
