Library

Our library is a great place to hang out during breaks and has an open and flexible space with:

• an interactive projector for class and library learning activities
• a computer room with its own interactive projector
• range of puzzles and games.

Borrowing books

Students can borrow 3 books at a time from the library which includes a:

• fiction book to read at home
• ‘bubble-along’ book (to keep in their desk for independent reading or viewing)
• a ‘world book’ to take home (usually a non-fiction book about an area of interest- to read with someone else or independently).

Drop in for a chat if you have any concerns about your children’s reading and borrowing habits.

Best times to visit are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
