Library
The Library Team works collaboratively to ensure that the Bakewell
School Community is provided with an efficient facility that:
- Supports the planning and implementation of the teaching and
learning programs.
- Provides quality resources that promote and support reading
for pleasure.
- Provides teaching staff with curriculum resources and professional
development materials from within and outside of the school.
- Has a welcoming, stimulating and bright atmosphere.
- Is promoted as a learning centre for students, school staff
and parents.
- Provides and maintains a wide range of multimedia resources.
- Is available as a venue for professional development, meetings,
recreational activities and special events.
The Library Program
Each class has a ½ hour session per week. This is predominantly
for the returning and borrowing of books. A 'discussion focus' is
incorporated within this time. The aims of these discussions are:
- Informing the students of the range of multimedia resources
available.
- Developing and sustaining, in students, the habit and enjoyment
of reading for pleasure.
- Introducing and practising the skills needed for the independent
use of the library.
- General housekeeping eg reinforcement of library rules/promoting
the use of library bags.
Teachers also integrate library and research skills within their
teaching and learning programs. Additional class visiting times
can be booked as required.
