Library

Welcome to our busy library! Many treasures are waiting to be discovered as you immerse yourself in what our library offers. 

Have you ever wondered what happens in the library?

World Book Online

Don't forget to check out  Clarence Regional Library for a range of interesting, fun free activities. If you are not a member, membership forms are available from any of the regional libraries.

Once you're a member, you can reserve and borrow items online and pick them up at any of the seven regional libraries including the mobile library.

Activities in the Library

The library is open during 1st break for students to enjoy all the library has to offer. It is a hive of activity with students reading, playing games, researching, using the computers and collaborating. 

Checkers and chess

Our annual school checkers competition occurs in Term 4 If you're interested in learning about Chess? Follow the 'Chess Kids' for an easy to understand guide on how to play Chess.

Tech Tuesday

Each Tuesday is Tech Tuesday. This is the day of the week when a group of students meet to enjoy experimenting with technology. Tech Tuesday also incorporates our Code Club. During lunchtime on Tuesdays, students have the opportunity to come along to Tech Tuesday and learn how to use a variety of technology. This term students have asked to learn how to create their own video games using the app Bloxels.

Students imagine, build, capture, design and play their own games. First, they begin with creating their own room for their game. Next, students develop their story line and create their own video game to play.

Scholastic Book club

The Scholastic Book club is run by our fabulous P&C and is distributed twice a term. Scholastic book club not only provides students with the opportunity to purchase quality literature at reduced prices but it also gives back to the school library.

The school receives a percentage of rewards from all sales which allows for the library to update and purchase new books for all students. 

Payments can be made to Scholastic online at Parents payments.
