The library is a vibrant, collaborative, agile learning and community space. It provides a welcoming environment to support reading for information and pleasure, research for the units of inquiry for the Primary Years Programme as well as providing support for Lunchtime clubs, community meetings, Indigenous Culture Club and extracurricular activities. We thank the P&C in partnership with the school and Education Directorate for their support in redeveloping the library spaces for 21st century with indoor and outdoor teaching and learning areas.
Opening Hours:
The library is open for students at lunchtimes Monday – Friday for quiet reading, drawing, card and board games and for lunch time clubs such as Kids Lit Quiz.
Parents and carers are welcome to visit the library with their children on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, before school 8:40-8:55 or after school 3:00-3:15, to read together, borrow books or play a board game.
Student Borrowing: Students have a weekly library borrowing session and your child’s classroom teacher will let you know which day it is for your child’s class. Students in Kindergarten to Year 3 require a library bag, though it is best practice for all students to bring one to preserve the life of the books.
Preschool - 1 book weekly (from the Preschool library)
Kindergarten and Year 1 - 2 books weekly
Year 2, 3 and 4 - 4 books for up to 2 weeks
Year 5 and 6 - 4 books for up to 2 weeks

Book Promotions: Students participate in the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge which runs from February – July each year; the annual Book Fair in Term 2 where parents, carers and students can purchase books; Library Lover’s Day Term 1; National Simultaneous Story time Term 2 and the Children’s Book Council of Australia annual Book Week and dress up Parade and assembly in Term 3.
