Top tips

1. Download the ePlatform app from the Apple and Google Play app stores. Also available on PCs, laptops and eReaders.

2. Look for your library and log in - you’ll only need to do this once.

3. Search for, borrow and read or listen to any book you want!

4. Download first in Wi-Fi spaces or before you leave home.

5. Use the Settings Wizard's comfort reading options to suit your needs. (These settings were created especially for dyslexic and visually impaired readers but can enhance every reader’s experience.)  

Hells Pizza Wheels

Below are some of our awesome students who have completed their Hell Pizza Wheels so far this term. A total of 115 of our tamariki have completed their Wheels so far this year! We are very proud of them all! The Hell Pizza Wheels will be running until the end of this term so there is still time to finish one. Completed Wheels must be used by 31st January 2025.
