The school library provides access to both print and digital resources.
Borrowing Books
All students have the opportunity to visit the library once a week with their class to borrow books. Reception and Year 1 students can borrow a maximum of four books and Years 2 – 6 can borrow a maximum of five books. Books can be borrowed for up to two weeks. Jane Salb and Michelle Page, our library school support officers (SSO), will assist classes with borrowing each day.
The Premier’s Reading Challenge
The school participates in The Premier’s Reading Challenge every year. Student Reading Records can be collected at school at the beginning of the year or by downloading and printing from https://premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au Participating students must read eight books from the Premier’s Reading Challenge list plus four books of their own choice. Each time a student reads a book they will need to record the title and author and have the book signed off by a parent, guardian, teacher or librarian. Students should then bring their completed form to the library. Please see the Premier’s Reading Challenge – Book List for further information.
Scholastic Book Club
The Scholastic Book Club leaflets will be distributed once a term. If you would like to place an order, please do so online via the LOOP app or visit scholastic.com.au/LOOP (please note we do not accept cash payments at school). Please contact jane.salb64@schools.sa.edu.au or michelle.page932@schools.sa.edu.au if you have any questions regarding your order.
Research Skills – IB PYP Approaches to Learning Skill
Our classroom teachers will work with students to model and encourage the transfer of research skills across contexts and the curriculum.
The development of these skills also support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #17.
