The library has continued to evolve and progress towards becoming an ICT centre. Library sessions are focused on the development of information literacy skills and technology skills which will equip students with the necessary abilities to access information for life.
The teacher librarian and the class teachers work cooperatively to teach units of work that integrate the information skills process and technology across the entire curriculum.
As well as an extensive collection of print resources, the library contains the school computer lab, laptops, ipads, an interactive whiteboard and has wireless connectivity.
All students are encouraged to borrow regularly and frequently. Students in K-2 are encouraged to use a library bag to reduce the likelihood of damage to the books. All students are welcome to visit the library at lunchtime. Selected Year 6 library monitors are given the opportunity to operate the automated circulation system and carry out various roles that assist with the running of the library at lunchtimes.
Parent volunteers are always welcome. We often need help to reshelve and repair books and other resources, to make displays and to generally keep the library neat and tidy. Often a note will be placed in the school newsletter requesting assistance to cover new library books and home readers. If parents have a little spare time they can collect books and contact from the school library, cover the books at home, and then return them to the library ready for borrowing.
Our Library catalogue can be accessed by staff and students using the "My Library" Link in your portal.
