Library
The library is the hub of the school. All children from K-6 are encouraged to borrow books regularly. The library is open all week.

In the library, children are taught how to find information for themselves. In addition to books, cassettes, slides, pictures and videos are available for use by classes.

Book Club
All K - 6 children may purchase books through the Scholastic Book Club comprising Wombat, Lucky, Arrow and Star, depending on their reading level.

The aims of the Book Club are to encourage children to read for enjoyment and to provide reasonably priced books designed to appeal to children of all abilities.

There is no obligation to purchase books. The orders are organised by the P&C. The necessary form and correct amount of money should be enclosed in a sealed envelope marked "BOOK CLUB" plus your child's name and class, and sent to the school by the date advertised in the Parent Newsletter. If you wish to pay by cheque, it should be made out to "Scholastic Australia".

Canteen
The school canteen is open five days a week where a range of nutritional food is available. Children are able to order their lunch each day by writing their name, class and order on a paper bag and placing it in the class lunch basket especially provided for this purpose. All orders are collected when class commences each morning and lunches are delivered to class at lunchtime. Pupils can purchase other items from the canteen at both recess and lunchtime.

School Photos
During the year we arrange for individual, class and special group photos to be taken by visiting specialists in school photography. (Payment / delivery arrangements may differ from year to year).

Scripture
Regular religious education lessons are held weekly by visiting clergy and laypersons approved for this purpose. All the main religions are catered for with those parents who do not wish their child to participate in scripture classes being given the opportunity to request exclusion by making a written statement to this effect to the Principal.

Student School Council
Each class in Years 2 to 6 elects two representatives for the school council. From these representatives two council presidents are elected. Regular meetings are held where the council discusses concerns of the student body and makes representation to the Principal about these concerns.

Computers
Computer education has a high priority within the school and receives a high level of funding each year. Computers are used in all subjects to enhance the students investigating, communicating and expressing skills. All children are given the opportunity for hands on experiences in our ‘state of the art’ computer lab that increases as they progress through the grades of the school. The students' are exposed to a wide range of computer related activities and the school has a comprehensive range of computer software and hardware to cater for their needs.

Overall, computing within the school's context is seen as a people orientated activity and the policies of the school reflect this. Internet access is available from the majority of classrooms. Students are required to abide by an Acceptable Use Policy.

Support Teacher
The school has a Support Teacher Learning. Children who may need extra assistance in a particular subject area can be referred to the Support Teacher by the Class Teacher.

Reading Recovery Teacher
The Reading Recovery Teacher is an Early Literacy Specialist who works with individual children in Year 1 with reading and writing difficulties.

School Counsellor
School Counsellors are qualified, experienced graduate teachers who have additional counselling qualifications and are registered psychologists. The counselling service exists in Government schools for the benefit of all children and their families who need assistance with any learning, behaviour or emotional problems. The School Counsellor also works with teachers to develop school programs which will cater for specific needs of the children in the classroom. Requests for assessment and counselling help may come from teachers or parents.

Parent Helpers
Our school is very fortunate to have the assistance of many talented parents to help with class activities. Parent helpers assist in many ways including listening to children read, helping mathematics and craft groups and many other ways that help students and teachers.

Your child's teacher may ask for parent helpers during the year for a variety of reasons and if you are able to help by offering some time it would be greatly appreciated.

All parents are asked to sign the parent helpers’ book which is situated in the main entrance foyer and also outside Rm 7 on the Kindergarten verandah whenever they are in the school to work with classes. All parent helpers also need to complete a Prohibited Employment Declaration. This form needs to be completed once only.

Choir
Children in grades 4 - 6 have the opportunity to join the School Choir. Performance opportunities include the Southern Illawarra Music Festival and the Schools Spectacular as well as a variety of school functions during the year.

Life Education
Albion Park Public School is fortunate to have biannual visits by a Life Education Van. Children in classes from Kindergarten to Year 6 attend lessons to learn about their bodies as an additional resource to the PD/Health/PE curriculum area.
