Library Update

Welcome to the Library Resource Centre

Welcome to our school library! We are very excited to share this new school year with you. At Global Jaya School, our students are challenged to reach their full potential, as well as prepared to be successful lifelong learners, and self-directed learners.

GJS begins the academic year of 2021-2022 by continuing Home-Based Learning or perhaps Hybrid Learning. In order to sustain the quality of our programmes, the GJS Library will continue to give the services through GJS Library Drive Through Service. The procedure of the GJS Library Drive Through Service remains the same as the last academic year. All the necessary steps needed to borrow books will be conducted online by using a Google Form. Please read these instructions prior to using the Library Book Check-Out Form. We strongly suggest that you bookmark both of these links for easy access in the future. Please ensure you do not have any outstanding library books before proceeding to the Library Drive Through Service.

We know this is a challenging time for parents, carers and children. Home Based Learning has brought new demands for them and changed how they engage with schools. GJS Library is here to support you by providing a variety of online resources. Below are the useful online resources for students to use alongside the work provided by the teachers.

PebbleGo:

PebbleGo is a curricular content hub specifically designed for Kindergarten - Year 3 students. It is packed with informational articles, ready-made activities, and literacy support for students of all abilities. It boosts engagement and fosters independent learning in core subject areas.
