Our Primary Library is a well-resourced facility. We have a large variety of books for all interest levels. We love connecting students to a book that they will enjoy and we are looking forward to assisting our students in the Library. The Primary Library is open at lunch time and before and after school.

An interesting research article was recently published in a teacher’s magazine. The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) measures how well Year 4 and Year 8 students perform in maths and science. The latest study data from Australia compares student performance with the number of books in their home. Here, they look at how the number of books correlates with performance.

The Infographic below, visually shows the correlation between performance and books in the home.
