About the MacKillop Centre
The MacKillop Centre is Mater Dei's Library. It houses a wide range of resources which students and staff from Prep to Year 6 are able to regularly access and borrow. Students and parents are encouraged to visit the MacKillop Centre, meet the staff and access the wide variety of resources on offer. Students, parents and staff are always welcome to visit and enjoy our dynamic and special MacKillop Centre. We aim to make it a place where students not only have their questions answered, but are empowered to ask questions themselves and explore the world around them.
Teacher Librarian
Mater Dei Catholic Primary School is proud to have a dedicated Teacher Librarian, Mrs Gray, who works with all students across the school. Every class participates in specialist library lessons that support a love of reading and writing and develop information and research skills. Through engaging learning experiences, our library program enriches classroom learning and helps students become confident, curious and capable learners.
Our school library also provides rich opportunities for families to engage with reading and learning alongside their children. Community events such as parent-child book clubs, book fairs, author visits, and participation in Reader's Cup encourage shared enjoyment of literature and promote positive reading habits at home. These experiences strengthen partnerships between families and the school while celebrating a vibrant and inclusive reading culture.
