Borrowing
At this stage only students and staff are able to borrow the Resource Centre resources. Parents who wish to borrow any of the resources must arrange with the Resource Centre to do so.
All classes have the opportunity to borrow during school time at a specified time. Borrowing is also encouraged during lunchtime and before school. Students are encouraged to change books on a weekly basis. All students are given a maximum of two weeks to return the borrowed items.
Prep children may borrow 1 book per week (Junior Fiction). Year 1 to Year 4 may borrow 2 books per week. They are encouraged to choose 1 Junior Fiction book and 1 Non-Fiction book. Year 5 children borrow 3 books, one of which is an Accelerated Reader book, Year 6 - 7 children may borrow 3 books. Year 7 children may choose a book from the Year 7 only area. These books are suitable for Pre-Teens to Teens.
All students are expected to use the School’s Library satchel (waterproof) to help protect the books. These are brought to the Resource Centre each borrowing time. A plastic shopping bag may be used if there is no satchel. Resource Centre books should not be in the bag with drink bottles and food.
If a student knows that he/she will be on a vacation inside school time or leaving the school to attend another school, please ensure that his/her books are returned before leaving.
