Our Library
Seven Hills Public School received a new library in 2010 as part of the federal government's BER program. The children are really enjoying the all the facilities it has to offer.
Our school has a well resourced library with a wide range of fiction, non-fiction and reference books which are eagerly used by all students. We aim to continually add new books to support curriculum needs and foster student enjoyment of reading. We have a number of computers which are connected to the internet. All students are taught how to use the internet safely and responsibly.
The library is open every day for the students to research information, receive homework help, read for enjoyment or to play board and card games to help develop co-operation skills.

Matty Forever by Elizabeth Fensham
Matty Forever is a heart-warming story about loyalty and friendship.. The main characters, Matty and Bill, are friends and new neighbours. Bill and his mother, Pam, have just moved to Dewy Creek and Matty takes Bill under her wing.
Matty and Bill develop a very strong friendship and share their deepest secrets. Everything is perfect until Isabelle farquay-Jones arrives. Bill falls for her and forgets all about Matty. Bill's mother spends more time at Matty's house than he does.
Things get even worse when Bill is forced to spill matty's secret to Isabelle, who then spreads it around the school.
Read the book to find out if Matty and Bill patch up their friendship. I would encourage people to read this interesting and great book. I would give it 10 out of 10.
