Library

The library has a large collection of fiction, non-fiction, electronic and reference resources. Resources are available to students during their lesson times and during the second half of lunch (Monday to Thursday). School library resources are also loaned to classrooms to provide a range of materials for reading and research during the school year.

All students visit the library each week for a timetabled lesson. During these sessions students are provided with the opportunity to borrow books with a library bag, and to explore items within the library's collection. Session times also provide opportunities for students to engage in activities that aim to promote an enjoyment of literature and develop information skills.

At the start of each school year, the Year 6 school library monitors are trained to assist with the borrowing, returning and shelving of resources. This leadership opportunity gives them responsibility and teamwork skills.

Miss Benson is pleased to welcome the 2017 Library Monitors to a year of library duties and fun activities.

Students can access the library enquiry Orbit page to search for books, reserve items or write reviews from home.

The home page also has links to:

• World book for kids

To access this students need to logon to their Student Portal and click on the icon Oliver Library.

Throughout the school year, some students may wish to participate in The Premier's Reading Challenge or the MS Read-a-thon. Students are provided with relevant information about these challenges at the appropriate time.
