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.

Marist Catholic College Penshurst offers Homework Club for all students at the College. Homework Club is a wonderful endeavour where students have the opportunity to complete homework, assessment work or private study in a quiet supported environment. Staff from a variety of key learning areas generously volunteer their time after school to answer student class work queries, develop a clear pathway to the completion of an assessment task, review drafts etc.
I encourage all students to attend Homework Club on a regular basis allowing the establishment of successful study habits for personal academic success. Students are to sign into Homework Club at the library desk sign on scanner each afternoon and sign out when they leave. Homework Club takes place in the library. A reminder to students that they should pre-organised how they are to get home each afternoon as students are unable to use their mobile phones on College grounds.
