Term 1 Week 8
YEAR 7 LIBRARY MONITORS
As part of the Year 7 students' High Flyer program, each term students will dedicate one lunchtime per week to help out as a library monitor. Part of their responsibilities include returning books, putting books away in shelves, tidying the library and helping and interacting with other students. This term our library monitors have been doing a fantastic job with all of these tasks and have been demonstrating great life skills such as reliability, organisation, independence and teamwork.
Lunch times in the library are always wonderfully busy, with students from all year levels mingling together enjoying a variety of fun activities such as board and card games, or reading quietly in a comfy spot. It is great to see so many students choosing to spend their break time inside the library.
PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE

Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bag and borrow regularly.
RETURNING
Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box or directly into the green returns box in the library (please see photo). Please note that lost or damaged books will incur a $10 payment.
OVERDUE BOOKS
School policy states that $10 is the replacement cost for each book not returned. Your child will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the $10 payment is made to the Tirkandi library or Front Office via cash only. If the book is found the money will be refunded.
Please feel welcome to visit the library and say hello. I encourage all families to utilise our wonderful Tirkandi space during opening hours. I look forward to meeting you!
