Our school provides a welcoming and safe environment
to our students. We also encourage the wider Maroochydore community to be
active partners and supporters of our school.
Our campus is situated on Primary School Court, with
access from School Road and Pikki Street.
We have specialised music, sport and recreation facilities,
well-resourced classrooms, age-specific playgrounds, and shaded, grassed areas
for play and sports.Library
Our library is open
every day during first and second lunch breaks for general borrowing, quiet reading, computer use
and planned activities.
All classes have
timetabled library lessons each week. During this time students borrow, listen
to a story and view new books that have been purchased. Students are
encouraged to use a library bag to ensure our library resources are kept in
good condition.
In the event of a book
being lost or damaged, students borrowing rights may be withheld until the book
is either found or the school receives a monetary contribution to cover its
replacement or another book from the same genre.
Our resources are
divided into fiction, junior fiction, non-fiction and junior non-fiction.
The fiction section is
divided into a favourites section for independent readers who like to read a
particular series and a general section. The junior fiction section has a large
collection of picture books suitable for all ages. The non-fiction section has
been separated into junior non fiction and general.
Books are purchased
throughout the year. These purchases are determined by the children's interests
and requests made by the teachers based on the units of work that are being
covered.
In third term we hold a
book fair where the parents and children can purchase books supplied by
Scholastic Books. This is an excellent means of obtaining resources for the library
as we receive commission based on sales.
