Our Librarian

Hi my name is Annette Forbes I have been
a librarian for over 6 years have worked mainly
in Primary Schools. I came from Clyde Quay School where I did most of my training. I have a huge passion for literacy and believe that every young person should have the opportunity to experience reading and writing their story. I have just started here at Rongotai College,already I know that I am going to enjoy my time here working in our ​school Library and getting to know all the students. Pop in and say hi

Librarians Open Up the World

"… Knowledge is useless if you don't know where to begin to look. 
How much more can you discover when someone can point you in the right direction, when someone can maybe even give you a treasure map, to places you may not have even thought you were allowed to go?
This is what librarians do."
Patrick Ness
