Students from stage 4-5 will NOT be able to borrow books for themselves from the book room. If a student from stages 4-5 needs to borrow a book then they must go through their teacher who will then take over responsibility for the borrowed book. It's your responsibility to make sure the student returns the book in good condition.

Students from stage 6 are allowed and encouraged to borrow books from the book room. Some items will need the signature from the teacher.

Students from stage 6 are able to borrow a book for a whole term and during holidays.

The responsibility for the book room will be split according to stage.

Stages 4-5 section: Mrs Lee, Mr Aiken and Mr Simpson will have responsibility for the .

Stage 6 section: Mr Watson and Miss Shelley.

Online book: Roaster to be created

Responsibility for the online book room will lie with a different teacher every semester with this role being open to teachers of any class. The general manager will create a roster at the beginning of each term to determine who has responsibility for the online book room.

Each of these sections should only be accessed by the teachers who have responsibility for that stage.
If it is an exceptional reason in which you must borrow a book from another section then talk to the book room general manager who will provide you with the right paper work.

Each semester a teacher will be assigned the role of Book Room General Manager. He or she will be allocated to look over the book room. He or she will make sure books are returned to their proper section, and that they are returned in good conditions.
