The Library program at Dandenong North Primary School is an exciting feature of the school curriculum. It is aimed at promoting the love of reading, expanding students’ knowledge, gaining accessibility to multimodal texts and resources, developing their understanding of book features and familiarising themselves with the Dewey Decimal System.
Students are actively encouraged to borrow library books on a weekly basis. Students explore reading materials covering a wide range of genres, authors and media to develop their literary, research and communication skills. Students are regularly exposed to new authors, with a special emphasis placed on Australian authors and illustrators.
All students participate in our Library program.
Every year, we hold a ‘Book Fair’, and students participate in ‘Book Week’ activities. Students in Years 4 to 6 enthusiastically participate in the Premiers’ Reading Challenge as well. The annual Book Week Parade to celebrate books and their authors is a highlight for the whole school community.
