Reading

Encouraging our students to enjoy their reading is a really important function of our library services at the Dixie Grammar School. This section  of the site has a range of pages to support this important work.

Senior School

Reading development activities take place during curriculum time and also out of lessons. Years 6 to 8 visit the Library for one lesson each week with their English teacher. These students work with Mrs Robinson on a reading challenge with prizes and certificates which are awarded during the year.

Years 7 and 8 are introduced to our Reading is Fun! wiki. This asks them to keep a record of their reading experience and also to support and encourage their classmates.

Reading Champions is the name of our Senior School Reading Group. We have not met for a while but we hope to resume meeting as soon as possible.

We also hope to have a range of other extra-curricular activities to encourage reading throughout the year, including competitions, quizzes and also book and author events.


Mrs Robinson collects Book Trailers on a site called Vodpod – why not watch some of them? If you find a good one, please let her know and she will add it to this collection. Have a look at the right-hand side of the page to see the Vodpod widget.
