LIBRARY
HOURS OF OPENING
The library is open:
• From 8.00 until 4.15 Monday - Thursday
• From 8.00 until 3.45 on Fridays
Please note that students are expected to be productively occupied when using the library before or after school.
LOANS
Students may borrow up to 3 books at any time for a loan period of 3 weeks. Books may be renewed if so desired.
OVERDUE BOOKS
Students are asked to be considerate of others and return items as soon as they are finished with them. If students have overdue books, they need to be returned or renewed before any new items are borrowed. Students will receive regular reminders when their books are overdue via a direct message on Seqta. At the end of each semester, parents will be notified of outstanding books.
LOST / DAMAGED BOOKS
Students should speak to a library staff member if they have damaged a book or if they think it is lost. Each incident will be assessed individually, but generally, payment will be requested for books that are lost or damaged, so that replacement copies may be purchased.
PHOTOCOPIER/ PRINTER
Students are credited with $5 at the start of every term towards their photocopying or printing requirements. Credit amounts may be topped up by paying at Reception.
LUNCHTIMES
It has been a busy start to the year in the library, especially at lunchtimes. Students have been participating in various activities, such as:
• Reading books or magazines
• Homework
• Computer work
• Board games
• Photocopying or printing
• Borrowing or returning books
It has been particularly pleasing to see many of our new Year 7 students utilising the library space and resources, as well as borrowing books.
