What happens if I damage a library book?

Primary school students are asked to bring a bag to their library lessons. It can be a book satchel or any other bag. This helps to keep the library books in good condition. However, sometimes books get damaged. Here are a few guidelines as to what to do.

If a book gets damaged by water or food stains...

Please let us know as soon as possible. Sometimes it is not too serious. If is badly affected, students will be sent a note requesting payment for a replacement. Payment can be made at reception or added to school fees.

If a page or the cover is torn...

Please send the cover / page with the book, back to the library. Please do not try to repair it. Library staff have special materials with which to fix the damage and are happy to do so. 

If a book is lost...

Again, please let the library know as soon as possible. Library staff will ask students to look again at home very carefully, then look in the classroom and then to look on the shelf for the book (or ask library staff to do so), as sometimes books are put back on the shelves without being returned through the computer system. If you need more time to look for a book, please also just let library staff know via a note in the diary or an email to library@standrews.vic.edu.au

This has now started for students in Years 7 and 8. Students in Years 9 or 10 wishing to take part, can contact Mrs. Heath or Mrs. Marks, who will add their names to the Challenge list.

GOAL: To read at least 10 books from the VPRC list (available on the website) and at least 5 books of their own choice. These need to be recorded on the website and verified by their English teacher.

These books can be books from the school library, a public library or from home. They can be hard copy books, ebooks or even audiobooks. Just indicate the format when recording the title.

Your English teacher will give you a username and password to use to get onto the site.
