Library Lingo!

Welcome back to our lovely Library for 2023!

* Students in Grade Prep – are able to borrow 1 book. 

* Students in Grades 1 – 2 are able to borrow 2 books

* Students in Grades 3 – 4 are able to borrow up to 3 books.

* Students in Grades 5 – 6 are able to borrow up to 4 books. 

* Students in Grades Prep – 2 usually select books to be read with a parent. These books are not required to be matched to their reading level.

* Students in Grades 3 – 6 are required to borrow some books that match their reading level. These are used in their classroom reading programs. Students select their books using a recommended procedure. Please note that it does take some students time to select their books with accuracy. Students are also able to borrow books to be read with a parent. All students at this level are expected to borrow books from the Library on a regular basis. 

* All students in Grades Prep – 6 should read at home every night. 

* Books may be borrowed for 2 weeks. 

* After 2 weeks, students can re-borrow their books or return them to the Library. 

Each classroom has a special box where books needing to be returned to the Library are placed. Students can also return their books directly to the Library. 

* Students in Grades Prep – 4 are required to use the Bunyip Primary School navy blue book bag when they are transporting books to and from school. This helps to protect books from food and drinks. 

* If books are damaged, the Library needs to be notified. If books need to be replaced a donation of $10 towards the new book is required.

* If books are lost, a donation of $10 is required. Please note this policy is endorsed by School Council. As a government school we always operate on a tight budget so these $10 donations are necessary.

Please contact me if you have any queries or concerns about our Library procedures.
