Happy Holidays

I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday. It has been a very busy term with many wonderful book reviews completed by the students at Richmond Primary School.

A reminder if any students, parents or caregivers find an interesting book suitable for our library, please feel free to take the details and give it to me on your return to school.


Graphic Novels

We are introducing a new Genre into our school library. Graphic Novels are cartoon drawings that tell a story and are published as a book.

Graphic novels are only available to year 5 and year 6 as some novels have some young adult themes and are not suitable for the younger children. 

With the busy lifestyle today, these graphic novels give readers the advantages to enjoy a novel in a reduced format.

Some titles we have acquired are:-
