Please note which collections are in each building this year while Mellor classes occupy the Tirkandi building:

Morphett Primary Library
The Premier's Reading Challenge ends on the 3rd of September, So don't forget to hand in your forms!
The Premier's Reading Challenge requires students from all year levels to read 12 books from the PRC booklist. Remember to check stickers on our library books to ensure students are reading at the appropriate level.
Completed forms can be handed into the Tirkandi library.
Below are two unnamed PRC forms that were handed in. Please have a look at the pictures below and if this is your child's please come and see me during library open hours.
Reception - Can borrow 4 books
Years 1, 2, 3, 4 - Can borrow 8 books
Years 5, 6, 7 - Can borrow 10 books
Parents – Can borrow up to 10 books
Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required for borrowing is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bag and to borrow regularly.
The school library policy for overdue, lost or damaged books has been updated. A library book that has been overdue / lost for 2 weeks or more or damaged, there will now be a fee of $15; however if the book is found or returned you will be reimbursed the full amount. Students will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the payment is made.
The money goes towards replacing that book so your child and other students can have access to reading books they love!
Any questions or queries on this please feel free to ask!
Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box, directly into the green returns box in the Tirkandi library or the clear tubs at the borrowing station in the Morphett Primary Library. I kindly ask that students return books to the building they borrowed it from as this will significantly help to reduce movement between the two buildings.
Monday - Before school
Tuesday - Before school
Wednesday - After school
Thursday - Before and after school
Friday - Not open
I will be located in Tirkandi Library so please do not hesitate to visit! If you would like to access the Morphett Primary Library during these hours please see me.
