Our school library is a precious and highly valued space.
A vibrant hub of learning, stories and exploration, the library provides a welcoming place to meet, collaborate, research, relax and improve information literacy.
It empowers students to be imaginative and critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and discerning researchers. Our library is a place where curiosity is nurtured.
Staff foster a culture where reading is encouraged and celebrated, and texts are deeply valued for their ability to help students understand themselves and their world. This ‘reading culture’ contributes positively to students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Our students can access authentic, age-appropriate resources at any time through the Oliver library management system and ACEN digital library’s Sora app.
Our Library provides a social space to meet, collaborate, research, learn, share and relax.

The Oliver Library management system, together with the ACEN digital library provide 24/7 access to a wealth of authentic, authoritative, age appropriate resources to specifically meet student and staff needs.
Book Week and Book Fair
One of the annual highlights at St Michael’s Catholic Primary School Belfield is our Book Parade when our school is overtaken by princesses, pirates, wizards and superheroes, as students and staff dress as their favourite book characters. During Book Week we organise the Scholastic Book Fair which is another opportunity for the students and their families to delve into the wonder and excitement of the world of Literacy.
