BPS School Library
Our school library is a modern flexible learning space and contains a wide collection of picture books, novels and digital resources. Classes participate in a weekly library lesson with our school librarian, where they have the opportunity to borrow books to take home which we strongly encourage.
Parents are asked to ensure that children have a suitable library bag for borrowing.
Book Club
Scholastics Book Club order forms are distributed twice a term. All orders and payment are made online using the Book Club LOOP. Items ordered are delivered to the school for distribution to students. The school receives a substantial credit from all orders made which we use to further stock our library and classroom resources.
