Library

At the heart of Kellyville Public School, the library stands as a vibrant hub of learning and discovery. With a collection of over 18,000 diverse resources—including picture books, junior fiction, nonfiction, and teacher materials—the library supports both student learning and staff teaching needs. All resources are available for borrowing, ensuring access to rich content across a range of interests and curriculum areas.

The Library Space

Designed with student input, the library offers a dynamic and flexible learning environment. Its layout features clearly defined zones for different types of learning—quiet reading nooks, focused study areas, and collaborative workspaces. Organised into sections such as picture books, junior fiction, fiction, nonfiction, and teacher resources, the space is easy to navigate and encourages independent exploration.

Library Lessons

Students participate in weekly scheduled lessons led by specialist librarians, where they develop information literacy and critical thinking skills. These sessions encourage thoughtful engagement with both print and digital content, fostering critical thinking and a love of reading.

Technology is seamlessly integrated to enrich learning experiences. The library is equipped with a suite of desktop computers, iPads, and an interactive whiteboard, all regularly used in lessons and available for research and creative projects. Students engage with digital media, participate in connected classroom activities, and even take part in virtual excursions with other schools.

Borrowing

All students are encouraged to borrow regularly from the school library. Children must have a library bag to borrow. These bags can be purchased through the KPS uniform shop.

 Each child may borrow:

Kindergarten – 1 Book

Years 1 and 2 – 2 Books

Years 3 and 4 – 4 Books

Years 5 and 6 – 6 Books

Library at Lunch

Beyond class time, the library transforms into a multi-purpose hub during lunch and recess. Students can choose from a range of engaging activities—exploring a research corner, relaxing with a book, playing board games, or collaborating in technology zones. This balance of structured and informal learning fosters both independent inquiry and social connection.

Together, these features create a welcoming, student-centered environment that inspires curiosity, encourages collaboration, and supports lifelong learning.
