Yakka Taka K-6

Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning

Students across K-6 interact with different library programs every week. These programs centre on the development of information literacy skills and digital literacy skills, along with the promotion of engagement with quality literature and the development of a love of reading. These skills can easily be intertwined in each Key Learning Area and subject focus. Students in K-2 develop these skills during weekly timetabled lessons with the K-6 teacher librarian (Miss Beth Ruschen), while students across Year 3-6 focus on this skill development in a co-teaching setting with the teacher librarian and classroom teachers.

The APCS K-6 library facilitates the Scholastic Book Club twice a term. All orders must be made online, via the LOOP portal, which can be accessed using this link: 

Magazines are sent home, when online orders open for each issue, to provide browsing and selection assistance. Once selections have been made, simply complete your orders online before the due date and your deliveries will be handed to your child at school once it arrives.
