Library

Unfortunately, due to site restrictions as a result of Covid-19, the library is currently closed. We are hoping to have library services up and running soon.  

Books should be returned via class teachers.

Accelerated Reader™

Accelerated Reader (AR) is used for all students in Years 3-6 to improve their literacy levels.  Accelerated Reader is a powerful tool for monitoring and managing independent reading practice and motivating reading for pleasure. AR motivates pupils of all abilities to read more and challenging books, raise literacy standards and develop a lifelong love of reading. Reading for 20 minutes a day can improve your child’s reading ability and help them to be more successful in all subject areas.

A database of over 35,000 quizzes to ensure comprehension of books read

• Provides instant feedback and reports for monitoring
• Helps create a culture of reading

Every student in years 3-6 will have an independent reading level and target to achieve each term.  Students are given 60 minutes AR support in class, every week, to ensure they have ample time to achieve these targets.
