Discovery School Library Mission Statement

The Discovery School Library supports the equality, diversity, cultural, and social well-being of all our teachers, staff and tamariki. We promote and encourage a lifelong love of reading for enjoyment, expanding knowledge and a passion for learning. 

We provide a vast selection of books across all genres and believe the library is a safe and inclusive environment for all.

My name is Donnella Matchett and I am the Library Manager here at Discovery School. I am very passionate about literacy and engaging children to develop a lifelong passion for reading. I truly believe that children's reading skills are important to their success in school as it helps them to improve their communication and language skills. In addition, reading can be a fun and imaginative time for children, opening doors to all kinds of new and exciting worlds for them.

On this page you will be able to keep track of what's happening in the library during the term and see all the different displays that I do to work in with the school curriculum.

Thank you, Mrs Matchett
