Has your child brought home a library book?
Well the school year is up and running, with all classes setting up their rules and systems. In the library I am thrilled to be seeing the grades come in with their teachers, to borrow a book to take home. It gives me great pleasure to see students borrowing and enjoying books. Someone once told me, in regard to running a successful school library, that for every book borrowed by a student, think of it as a dollar in my pocket. And I do.
So thank you for making me rich in smiles.
Library Hours
Did you know that you can return your books anytime, in the library Returns Chute? The library is also open at the following times:
- Every morning, except Thursday, before school from 8.45am. for borrowing only.
- Every lunchtime, except Thursday, from 1pm to 1.30pm.
Students can come in to return and borrow books, play cards, chess, board games, read or just relax. Chess sets are available in the library but if students wish to bring in their own cards or board games, they are most welcome to.

MY LIFE AND OTHER STUFF I MADE UP
Check out this funny new series.
A nail-biting ( no, make that toe-biting) thrill ride through one boy's life.
Have you ever been trapped inside a runaway car? Have you broken a world record? Is there someone in your class who will stop at nothing to kiss you? Have you ever tricked your dog into doing your homework? Or found something seriously disgusting in your food? Have you sold head lice for fun and profit? Or has your mum ever used raspberry and white chocolate muffins as weapons of minor destruction.
Library Bags
By now you all would have been made aware of the need to bring in a library bag to be able to borrow a library book to take home. I would like to thank all the parents and caregivers, for supplying a bag for your children to use as a library bag. The schools decision to no longer supply plastic bags is totally in line with our goal to become a sustainable, and environmentally friendly school.
Remember that a library bag can be “any “type of bag. Even if it is a plastic bag brought from home.
One of our hard working parents has offered to make library bags for students with all proceeds going to the musical production costuming costs. We will send a notification news feed on Compass with all details of how to purchase these lovely hand-made library bags shortly.
