enjoyed the many attractions and activities of the Fair.

                                                  PRODUCTIVE PARTNERSHIPS

Public and School Libraries 

Promoting Lifelong Learning

Mackay City Council Library Service  

Mackay West State School Library

 

As you are aware, Margaret Spillman (Teacher-Librarian), Lorraine Todd (Teacher-Aide) along with Claire Grandcourt from Mackay Libraries have initiated a range of initiatives in the school during the past few years which they have labelled Productive Partnerships.  These include Work Shadowing, an enhanced Library Monitor program, the GOAL (Grade Ones at the Library) program, underpinned and supported by the continued development of the excellent school website.  This team has received many accolades for their work. It is with much pride and pleasure that I report to you that this team has received another honour in winning first place in Australia in the IASL (International Association of School Librarianship)/Softlink Excellence Award.  Basically, this award is made to teams/individuals who make outstanding contributions to school librarianship.  This healthy and well-developed partnership between our school library and Mackay Libraries has been recognised for providing a sound base and fostering a quality learning environment for our students to access, to enhance and develop their learning outcomes.  Congratulations to this team for this outstanding recognition of their work.
