Library Borrowing:

EARLY YEARS - Reception, Year 1 & 2 children can borrow 2 books

MIDDLE YEARS – Year 3&4 children can borrow 4 books

FISHER – Year 5, 6 & 7 children can borrow 6 books

PARENTS – Can borrow up to 10 books

Books can be kept for a minimum of 1 day or up to 2 weeks. All that is required is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1 & Year 2), and no overdue books!  Encourage students to manage their own library bag – when the bag has books in it, they know they need to return them; when the books have been returned and the bag is empty, they know they can borrow! 

Library Returning:

Books can be returned using the classroom

library box, or go direct to the green returns box in the library

LOST OR DAMAGED BOOKS will incur a $10 payment!

2016 Premier’s Reading Challenge:

Just a reminder that students are required to do one PRC sheet ONLY  this year – this is all that is required to receive a Premier’s Award!  

Reception to Year 7 PRC Levels:

Choose books from your year level (see colour code below).  You can choose a book from a higher year level, but ask your teacher for advice. You can also choose a book that is not on the list, but remember you must choose at least 8 of your 12 books from the PRC reading list.  In our Library, PRC books have stickers on them relative to student year levels:

PRC

R-2

PRC

3-5

PRC

6-9

PRC sheets need to be fully completed (full book title & author name) and initialled by an adult before being placed in the PRC box near the Library entrance door.

Teachers will issue students with their 2016 PRC sheet shortly, however you will also find one attached below.

The PRC guidelines are attached for your information below:

More details are available on the Premier’s Reading Challenge websitewww.prc.sa.edu.au.  The PRC finishes on 9th September 2016.
