Celebrating School Pride Week 15-19 June
Be sure to check the library book display

Schools’ Pride Week Aotearoa is back for 2026!

Schools’ Pride Week Aotearoa is an important annual campaign celebrating rainbow staff, students and whānau in school communities across the country.

Register to take part now by visiting pride.school.nz

This year’s campaign runs from June 15 – 19 in Term 2, Week 9
For 2026, we are embracing the theme of “Community is Home” in collaboration with artist Wiz Butch.

Wiz Butch (he/they) is a trans artist from Scotland who calls Ngāmotu, Taranaki home. They dabble in a range of crafts including zines, illustrations and felting, taking inspiration from our communities, histories, and q***r joy.

Celebrating Schools’ Pride Week is an important way for school communities to affirm that rainbow students, staff, and whānau belong. Whether you are a primary, intermediate or high school, an early education center, tertiary provider, or youth center, we would love to have you take part!

You can register as an individual student or staff member as well as on behalf of a QSA, student group or entire school.

Registering ensures that you and your school get all the relevant materials and information in the lead up to the campaign.

So what are you waiting for?!
Let’s make Schools’ Pride Week Aotearoa 2026 the best one yet!

DEATH ROW Library display

Last chance to read before it goes. Will you be the one to rescue our books?
The shelves are crowded, and new stories are waiting for their turn in the spotlight. Books on display have been overlooked for too long and are scheduled for removal from our collection. This is their final appeal.

Before they leave the A.M. Miller Library for good, we are giving you one last opportunity to experience their stories.
• Discover Hidden Gems: These books might not be on the "Most Popular" list, but they hold unique perspectives and forgotten worlds.
• Literacy Support: Every book read contributes to our school-wide goal of extending reading skills and fostering a love for literacy.
• Give a Story a Home: Once these books are gone, they are gone. You could be the very last student to walk through their pages.
How to Help
1. Visit the "Death Row" Display near the library entrance.
2. Browse the titles—look past the cover and find the story within.
3. Check the book out at the desk
4. If the book truly deserves a permanent place on our shelves, tell us! Your feedback helps shape our collection development.

Rescue Mission Deadline: 24 Jun 2026
