After school Homework Centre
In conjunction with UNSW education students, Matraville Sports High School runs an after school homework centre on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon until 4pm.

The Homework Centre is a great opportunity for students to spend quality time on their homework in an environment that is supportive and friendly.
Matraville Sports High School library aims to:
· Develop information literate students.
It is essential for students to develop skills in using information as part of the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning. Students who are aware of information sources and services, who have the confidence to approach them, and the flexibility of thinking to use them, have the basis for a better quality of life than those who are unable to pursue their information needs.
· Work in partnership with faculties to meet both information fluency and curriculum needs.
· Promote reading for academic purposes.
· Encourage a love of literature by inspiring and motivating students to read for pleasure and enjoyment, emphasising the wonder and excitement that can be found in the pages of a book.
Students can also come to library during their free time to work on their homework and assessment tasks.
