PRIMARY (Nursery to Year 6) In this section we have picture books, fiction books and non-fiction books for a large range of interest levels and reading abilities. Our youngest students have a library time weekly. Years 2-6 have a library time bi-weekly. Teachers may also schedule additional times at the library if needed for research.
SECONDARY (Years 7-13) In this section we have fiction books and nonfiction books as well. We also have a section with study guides, career information and higher education information for the upper school. Secondary students can use the library for reading, to borrow books, research, games, and to use the computers. In addition, the secondary students are welcome to use the library to do work at any time.
SCHOLASTIC BOOKS The library also organized Scholastic book orders. Scholastic offers a large variety of books at affordable prices. By organizing the book orders we get a continuous supply of new books for our library. Scholastic book orders are sent out five times a year. Prep students receive the order forms form their teachers. High side students receive an announcement to collect order forms from the library when we are ready to place an order. Scholastic books usually arrive within two weeks of ordering.
