Holy Family College matric pupils recently visited the UKZN E G Malherbe Library on the Howard College campus. Ms Rozelle Theresa Munien, a teacher at the school, said the selection of the E G Malherbe Library for the referencing workshop was a natural instinct for her as a teacher because it is a well-established library and she has had an experience with the library from when she was studying at UKZN.

Mrs Faith Magwaza, a Principal Librarian in the College of Humanities, saw this visit as an opportunity to introduce the learners to other referencing styles and showcase the services that subject librarians offer regarding the support of teaching and learning at UKZN. ‘It was an honour and a rare opportunity to share knowledge with our future students,’ said Bhengu.

Among the potential future students at UKZN was vibrant and outspoken Joshua Govindsamy, a Holy Family College prefect who has already been provisionally accepted at UKZN where he intends to pursue a Mathematics and Computer Science degree. For Govindsamy, this workshop has already given him a head start as a future student.

Munien further said the workshop offered her pupils an advantage of being able to use the library and locating the resources needed for assignments. ‘These skills nurture the spirit of enquiry, improves pupils’ researching skills as well as allowing them into the journey of imagination to identify and solve problems in the environment they live in,’ she said.
