Does my child require a library bag?
All students purchase a 'Library Bag' as part of the uniform purchase list.
For students in prep, grade 1, grade 2 |
The purchased school logoed Library Bag is used for take-home reading books and printed notices. We recommend students also have a separate library bag. This can be any bag- see picture below for ideas. This allows for students to bring home the larger sized picture story books from the library and makes it easier for students to return their library books weekly.

For students in grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, grade 6 |
The purchased school logoed Library Bag can be used for any take home readers, printed notices and borrowed library books. (Not required to purchase a separate library bag.) |
