LIBRARY BAGS
Teach Resilience and Responsibility
Remind your child what day their library visit occurs then give them the responsibility of bringing the library bag to school on that day. If they miss that day explain to them, as I do, that they may bring it the following day.
We will always find time for a student to borrow.
Thankyou for assisting your child in presenting with a library bag to begin the year.
Students in Yr 5 and 6 may purchase a bag from the library for $1.
Library Bags are a requirement on the Start of Year - Equipment List from Kinder to Yr 6.
LIBRARY BAGS MATTER
Not just some of the time but all of the time.
No food or drink on my books.
Food and drink is for the chooks.
Library bags keep ‘em clean.
Books are cool don’t treat ‘em mean.
Bring your bag everytime.
Fill it up and get in line.
Have it scanned and scoot on out.
