The Library is home to a large collection of children’s literature, information books and teacher resources. Through the Library, all children develop information skills and a love of literature. All classes have timetabled borrowing times through the week.
Children can also borrow library books independently any day before school from 8.30am and lunchtime. |
Our up-to-date collection of resources reflects the needs of the school population. These resources are linked directly to the curriculum. This includes information for school activities and assignments.
|
Our books are chosen to cater for a wide variety of children’s interests and abilities. We have a large collection of the latest award winning fiction books.
Our extensive Junior Fiction collection boasts ‘old favourites’ as well as new books, which we encourage children to read and share with their parents. |
The Library design, layout and furniture have also been carefully selected to cater for the various age groupings from Prep to Year 7. The use of bright, lively colours and clever furniture design, make the Library child-friendly and appealing to all ages.
