LIBRARY EDITION
WELCOME TO CRC LIBRARY
The Library is a space in the school were you can read, study, do your homework or play quiet games in a relaxing atmosphere. Staff are available to assist you in selecting a novel to read or help you with homework after school.
Come and talk to one of the Library staff if you need help with finding books to read or logging into the Library ePlatform to try one of the ebooks.
If you would like, we can teach you to read a book and listen to the story at the same time.

Tell Me Why by Archie Roach
‘There are many Australian stories, and mine is just one about what happened to me and other First Peoples of this country. It’s important for me to tell my story because it’s not just part of my healing but of this country’s as well. We all have a story and as you read this book I would like you to think of your own story, what that means and who is also a part of your story.’
In his inspirational, highly acclaimed memoir, and including reflections from First Nations Elders and young people, Archie Roach tells the story of his life and his music. Only two when he was forcibly removed from his family, and brought up by a series of foster parents until his early teens, Archie’s world imploded when he received a letter that spoke of a life he had no memory of. It took him almost a lifetime to find out who he really was. Tell Me Why is an unforgettable story of resilience, strength of spirit and hope.
