End of Year 2022 - Update

Congratulations to Room 4 who were the first class with all student library books returned, followed a couple of days later by Room 3. Lets hope a few more classes are able to return their remaining overdues by the last day of term!"

The library stocktake is now completed. We still have a number of books that are missing - they are not in the library and they are not on issue. We'd love to have these books back again, so if you find any hiding behind shelves or under the furniture over the holidays, at school or at home, please put them in a safe place ready to drop back to the library next year.

(Updated every day or so until 15 December 2022)

Getting Ready for End of Year 2022

The Christmas School Holidays are not far away now, but before they arrive there are some important tasks to get done. In the library we are preparing for our annual end of year stocktake!

All library books are due back on or before next Monday, 5th December. You can help by returning all your library books to the library "As Soon As Possible" and by next Monday please.

Will your class will be first to return all their library books this year? If you have any other school books, such as journals, junior reading books and class books lying around at home then now is a good time to return these to school too.
