Leadership
We are becoming a “Modern Learning
Library Environment”.
4. “Modern Learning Library
Environments”: Principles
We are aiming towards literate,
liberated leaders who love the Lord.
The modern library should therefore
provide opportunities for responsible
ownership of personal learning; wise
use of initiative, and be a catalyst for
cutting-edge problem solving.
By continuing to be accessible to all
students, the library allows for a safe
environment for mentoring, tutoring
and celebrating learning opportunities.
Written records of research by experts,
both digital and in printed format, will
continue to be catalogued for easy
access; and learners will have readily
available resources to write up their
own work.
The ambience of the modern library
will be user-friendly, with comfortable,
stylish furniture.
Provide Reading opportunities, via a
range of printed, digital, and web-
based formats, reading levels and
genres.
Attitudes and ideas to glorify God, our
Creator and Source.
Honour worthy authors encouraging
imagination and integrity in written
records.
Form the hub of any school, bringing
people of all ages and stages to learn,
together.
Encourage initiative in seeking for
information, independently.
Possible developments:
5. Preparation for changes in the
library
Mrs Little and Mrs Bertram
attended the SLANZA conference,
held in Christchurch, with the
theme “From the Ground Up”,
focusing on change.
Mrs Little attended a seminar and
read widely about “Modern
Learning Library Environments”
(MLLE).
We consulted widely with modern
library furniture suppliers and
gathered quotations.
Mrs Little visited many libraries,
including several in Australia,
while on holiday!
We re-arranged the Picture Books
so that many more are displayed
face out.
We started to attach genre labels
to fiction books to make them
easier to identify by the story
type.
We re-arranged the shelves to
provide flexible learning spaces.
We introduced more hands-on
learning opportunities, with jigsaw
puzzles, experimental electric
circuits to build, and a wooden-
block marble race to construct.
Action!
7. Clifford and the Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair was held in the
First Term, with Clifford as the special
guest. He offered ‘paw-ographs’ and
‘selfies’ to anyone who wanted them.
The Book Fair overlapped our very well-
supported Grandparents’ Day and the
Easter Service. The library had hundreds
of visitors that day!
Many books were bought and new orders
arrived every day while it was available.
The profit from the sales amounted to
$7,416.00, which was used to buy
furniture and books for the library.
Highlights of 2015
9. We also sold our ‘withdrawn’
books, at 50 cents each…usually a
wonderful bargain!
‘Old’ books always hold mystique, history about previous
readers and the fun of getting them for a ‘good’ price!
10. Bruce Potter Visit
Bruce Potter entertained all the
Y1-6 classes with his songs and
by reading extracts from the
books he has written and
illustrated.
He demonstrated how he draws
and ‘paints’ his illustrations on a
laptop computer, which he
projected onto a screen, so that
we could watch the
development.
His visit coincided with Book
Week, which also included the
annual inter-house quiz. The
quiz was won by Brown house.
11. Examples of his artwork.
We were all enchanted!
Bruce Potter visit.
12. ‘Fancy Nancy’
Day
Y 1 and 2 students dressed up
and were photographed as the
popular book character’s look-
alikes. Mrs Phelps read one of
the stories from the series.
They then made ‘fancy’
accessories, which would have
charmed ‘Nancy’!
Mrs Armstrong and Mrs Rowe helped us
dress and photograph the girls.
13. B C Book
Blazers
This is the name for the ‘book club’ for Y 5 and 6 students. Themed
activities, recommended author suggestions and book talks form an
essential part of the meetings, which sometimes also include party food!
Members are allowed extra book loans and are often the first to borrow
new books.
14. We challenged the Library monitors to
demonstrate the ‘domino effect’. The
audience waited patiently, not
knowing what to expect. Kate was
especially pleased when all their
planning had the desired effect. After
touching one ‘domino’ it led to all the
others falling, one after the other.
Dominoes
Sincere thanks to all our Monitors: Kilian Tubbs, Adara Price,
Ryan Cunningham, Jacob Davie, Kate Armstrong, Leah Foster,
Hannah Hockley, Constance Jefferson, Jarrod Higgins, Shayarna
Blackler, Kelly Chow, Ella Claydon, Hope Edwards-Poad, Cael
Graham, Martin Kristensen, Anabel Louie, Seeun Park, Keimarire
Tibble-Brown, Danielle Tuhairwe, Sarah Willis and Joshua Wilson.

15. Outsiders used our library as a
venue:
Our City Librarians brought “Stories at
Your Place” to our Y 1 and 2 students.
Janet Ness addressed local school
librarians, who are members of BOPSLA,
on the topic of “Dyslexia”.
16. Displays related to current
affairs, stimulated curiosity:
Music Month
Rugby World Cup
Newspaper
articles
17. Towards the end of the
year…
We encouraged all students to get their
books back in the library by 7 December at
the latest. D3 was the first class to get all
their books returned. We celebrated their
achievement with a Juicie for every
student and the teacher!
Once the books had been checked back onto the shelves, it
was time for the Summer Reading Club to begin. Students
returning in 2016, who signed up for the Club, could borrow
up to 25 books to read during the summer holidays. Each
participant received a specially designed bag, pen and
notepad as extra gifts. There were nearly a hundred
enthusiastic readers this year!
Loans had to be returned…
…and loaned out for the Summer holidays.
18. Stepping
forwards…
Some new furniture has
already arrived and the orders
are in for more to come.
New pinning boards are
already in place, as we plan
for a vibrant, new-look Y 1-6
library in 2016.
The elderly library
‘toys’ have retired,
to make way for the
“MLLE”!
19. Resources Centre
Mrs Armstrong continues to provide
innovative improvements in the Resource
Centre.
Besides all the changes and developments
transforming the Library, equally significant
modifications were made in the Resources
Centre. For years, Y 1-6 ‘unit boxes’ have
had books and equipment stored together on
mobile shelving, but it has become cluttered
and awkward to find specific items. Units
are seldom repeated exactly as previously.
After consultation with teachers, we agreed
to store all the resource books together, like
a library. We had to check and simplify
Dewey numbers, print and adhere labels,
before physically moving the books. The
Teachers’ Library that was previously housed
in the library, has been interfiled with the
teaching resources.
We still have to add more of the items of
‘equipment’ and teaching ‘games’ to the
database to make circulation and retrieval,
more efficient.
Many items do not have an associated cost
because in the past such records were not
kept.
Added to Resource Database
Books: Teacher Resource Secondary 193 5,113.47$
Books: Teacher Resource Primary 166 1,991.49$
Books: Teacher's Library 18 701.90$
Textbook: Primary 94 1,066.00$
Textbook: Secondary 458 11,264.73$
Textbook: Secondary - English 36 858.99$
Textbook: Secondary - Social Science 102 3,030.00$
DVD 28 237.69$
Equipment: Primary 104 798.00$
Total value 1,199 25,062.27$
21. Update on holdings in the Library
and Resources Centre
At the end of 2014, we had 47,590 assets in both sections.
During 2015, we added 2,696 items to the database, though
some of that number was existing stock that had not been
added previously.
25 books were donated to the library and many items come
from the Ministry of Education to our Resources Centre,
without cost to the school.
17 items were re-instated after being previously written-
off, usually because they were found again.
1,727 items were written off, due to being lost, broken,
outdated or redundant.
115 books were found to be missing during the annual
stock-taking of the library books.
By the end of 2015, there were 48,487 assets; 19,396 of
which are library books.
After depreciation the value of the collections was
recorded as $542,297.00

23. Conclusion
Mrs Little, Mrs Armstrong and Mrs Bertram with
Fancy Nancy look-alikes.
Our Library and Resources
Centre is keeping up with the
modern trends in
management and digital
technology.
It is a well-used, friendly
focal point of the school,
where learning and
socialising is actively
facilitated.
We are looking forward to
new furniture in the library
and a modernised
workroom/office, as well as
great learning opportunities
in 2016.
Mrs Little (Librarian), Mrs Bertram (Library Assistant) and Mrs Armstrong (Resource Centre
Assistant) are very aware that ‘God is greater’ than any challenge set before us. We have
prayed together and encouraged one another through personal issues, and prayed for
other members of staff and students, finding God faithful every time.
