    The National Library provides services to support school libraries. As part of this, it provides a template for schools to create a profile of their student community. The profile collects information like the school roll, year levels, gender mix, languages spoken, number of priority learners, relationship with local public libraries, home internet and device access, and library hours. It also asks about teacher and family library use. Regularly updating this profile helps schools make informed decisions about developing and managing their print and online collections to meet community needs.

    School community profile


    The following template gives you a range of prompts that will help create a profile of your
    school community. Communities change over time, and you should periodically revisit this
    template as part of your ongoing collection management cycle.
    Use this template as a generic form to guide you. You may want to adapt one or two
    questions depending on whether you’re a primary, intermediate, secondary or composite
    school, or add additional questions if you feel they are relevant.
    The information gathered in this template contributes to other information you obtain from
    within your school (e.g. reading levels at specific year levels). The overall picture will
    influence your decision-making in all aspects of developing and managing your library
    collection, for both print and online resourcing.
