Happy New Year and Welcome back
Our school library offers resources and services to staff and students to create opportunities for learning and to support literacy and education in alignment with our curriculum. We stock a wide variety of Fiction and Non Fiction books and resources to enrich student reading experiences and develop independent reading skills.
Library borrowing commences later this week.
Students are able to borrow 2 books for a period of 2 weeks. Novels can be renewed for longer periods.
Library bags are required for Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 and are highly recommended for Years 3-6.
