Inspiring a Love of Reading
Our Library is the heart of Alawa’s learning community. We encourage every student to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning, supported by a wide range of quality literature and engaging resources. Reading for fun and reading for learning are celebrated and promoted across the school.
