Borrowing
Learning groups are allocated borrowing time in the library each week. All students must bring a waterproof library bag to borrow from our library. We have a wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction books to read.
Book Week
Each year in August, we celebrate Book Week. This is a time when students engage in a activties related to the short-listed books; dress up as characters for a parade; and hear from guest authors. During this week, the library runs a "Book Fair" where students can purchase books for their personal library.
Library at Lunch
Students are welcome to meet in the library every Tuesday and Thursday to play chess, read or borrow books or play games.
Reader's Cup
The Reader's Cup Competition is offered to students in Year 5 and 6. This is an optional event where students read books and compete in a quiz against students from other schools.
World Book Online
Our school subscribes to World Book Encyclopaedia online (including World Kids and World Students). This means all students and staff have access to a top quality encyclopaedia. The students have access at school and are able to access the site from home as well.
