Library Resource Centre

Wembley Primary School is fortunate to have a spacious Library Resource Centre that is available to all children each day of the week. It is staffed by a Resource Teacher and a Library Office who are available from 8.30 to 3.30 to assist students, teachers and parents to locate the resources.

Once a week classes from Pre-Primary to Year 7 participate in a library skill lesson. During these times they will be taught how to locate and use selected resources and they are exposed to a variety of literature. The activities undertaken support the English and Society and Environment programs being taught in the classes.

The Library Resource Centre is fully automated and linked to the school’s computer network. Students are able to access their folders and complete computer tasks in the Library. Internet access is available to those who have completed an Internet Contract.

Funding for the Library Resource Centre comes from the school budget and is supported by the P&C. Additional resources are obtained through the Book Clubs and Book Fairs.
