Our library and resource centre 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.
