ARRENDELL Education’s Library
ARRENDELL Education has one of the largest private collections of children’s library books in the Hunter region. A key theme and reason for student success over the years, is the focus on reading skills and the inspiration that arises from reading and the familiarisation with a wide spectrum of children’s authors.
The library is updated with new books regularly, with popular books, as well as books specifically well-written authors recommended by our community of experienced and passionate teachers. Suggestions from both parents and students are always welcomed.
