Information Book

THE LIBRARY

The Library is the resource centre for the school, housing books, pictures, magazines, multimedia software, audiovisual equipment and games.

Our computerised management system allows the flexibility to encourage borrowing and returns outside of lesson periods.  The normal borrowing time for a book is a fortnight, but there is no reason why a child cannot borrow each day.  For our younger children, you are encouraged to visit the Library with them to assist in choosing a suitable book and to help them become independent Library users.  This habit of regular Library use cannot start too early.

To protect our valuable collection we ask that children K-4 always use a special Library bag when borrowing.  To assist we have special school ones available from the Uniform Shop.

The Library is open:

CHOIRS

The school has five Choirs catering for all students and a Vocal Ensemble. The Vocal Ensemble is made up from our most talented singers in Kindergarten to Year 6. Students are invited to audition for placement in the Vocal Ensemble at the start of the year.

BAND

The school has two Bands catering for all levels of talent. These are:

The Band program is managed by a P&C sub-committee under the guidance of a paid Band Director.  Instruments are available for hire and the Bands rehearse before school.  All Bands participate in Eisteddfods and Community performances.

SCHOOL COUNSELLOR

The school has the services of a School Counsellor two and a half days per week. The Counsellor works with students, staff and parents to address learning, social and behavioural issues. This service is available through referrals made to the Learning Support Team. Parents may also phone and speak to the Counsellor directly.
