The School Library
 
The School Library contains close to 20,000 items covering curriculum and recreational needs including books, periodicals, games and audio visual materials. It is staffed by a full-time teacher librarian and part-time library aide, and is normally open before school, and lunch time.

Apart from Education Department funding, many library items are acquired with the assistance of the Parents & Citizens Association (via activities such as book fairs and book club). Many parents also assist in the library on a volunteer basis and provide very welcome support.

Pupils are encouraged to borrow and change books regularly, and parents are welcome to visit the library and assist their children with their selections.
 
The teacher librarian conducts lessons in conjunction with classroom teachers. The lessons form a part of the total educational program. The library staff also assist pupils with research activities, reader guidance and recreational reading.

 

Parents are asked to make a contribution towards the cost of replacing lost books. Please contact the library if you have any concerns regarding lost books.
