LIBRARY NEWS

Welcome to our school library for 2024!  We are looking forward to enjoying our library space - in our lessons, lunchtime clubs, Book Week and a Book Fair!

All students have a weekly 45 minute lesson where a story is read and discussed. Students have time to borrow and are expected to borrow either weekly or fortnightly. Each class has a library box where returned books can be placed. To help protect our books, all students are encouraged to have a library bag and we thank those students that do.

New books have arrived and are being processed by Lorraine and will be available for borrowing very soon.  Each month we receive a box of books from Australian Standing Orders.  This is a subscription that ensures good quality literature is chosen in either picture book format or fiction books.  

Scholastic Bookclub at COHR

COHR is pleased to work with Scholastic Australia and provide a book club where families can purchase books for their children.  Each term there are two issues with a variety of books on offer for all ages.  Students will bring home the brochures, families can peruse and then order online.  If you do happen to place an order at school, we ask that you have correct cash or use the credit facilities. 

Issue 1 was sent home last week.  If you would like to purchase any of the books, orders need to be in by Friday 16th February.

We thank our volunteer Mums - Stacy K & Venetia P for coordinating these orders.   COHR certainly benefits from Scholastic Book Club as we receive rewards in the form of free books - that certainly makes up happy!!
