The Learning and Innovation Centre is open every second break. All children from year 1-6 can come into the LIC to read, play quiet games, complete puzzles, colour, and draw. Our year 6 student leaders come in and support the other children and help reshelve books. Please see the timetable below.

Student Council Book Fair

The Student Council will be holding a Book Fair in Week 10 of Term 3 to promote the love of reading across our school. We kindly ask families to donate any preloved books in good condition—no rips, stains, or missing pages, please. Donations can be dropped off at the office or your child’s classroom. Funds raised will go towards a special end-of-year gift for the school from the Student Council. Thank you for your support!

Thank you, P&C

We extend our sincere thanks to our P&C for their generous $10,000 donation. With this support, we have been able to purchase new Hi-Lo (High Interest–Low Readability) decodable readers for our upper school.

Hi-Lo books are specially designed for struggling or reluctant readers. They feature engaging, age-appropriate themes and stories, presented with simplified language, shorter sentences and paragraphs, and often supported by illustrations or graphics. These resources help motivate students, build their confidence, improve reading fluency, and foster a love for reading by making books both interesting and accessible.

This investment will make a real difference in supporting literacy growth for all learners at our school.

Borrowing News

Library Borrowing Reminders

Each class has a weekly borrowing session at the Learning & Innovation Centre (see timetable below). Students must bring a library bag to borrow books.

• If a student misses their class borrowing time, they may visit the LIC at second break with their library bag and books to return or reborrow.
• If a book is not finished, it should still be brought back on borrowing day to be reborrowed, rather than left overdue.
• Students going on early holidays are asked to return their books before leaving.

All books must be returned by Week 9. Please note there will be no borrowing in Week 10.

Responsible Reader Awards

Congratulations to the two classes from last week who had no overdue books. You have worked as a team to support each other.

Outstanding Fees

If you have outstanding fees for lost books, could you please pay these as soon as possible. If your classroom teacher or child lets you know about an overdue book and you are unsure on the matter please feel free to email me and we can try and work out a solution.
