Young Adult Information
Information for Parents about YA Reading Permissions for Junior School Students
The Scotch Junior/Middle School Library has certain books categorised as ‘Young Adult’ (YA) based on their inclusion of content some parents may deem unsuitable for their children. The content may encompass a degree of violence, supernatural themes or more mature relationship concepts, for example. A small sample of these can be found from the following link https://library.scotch.wa.edu.au/AR/YoungAdult with parents able to login to read the titles and blurbs. A good guide for parents also can be found via https://www.commonsensemedia.org on appropriateness of books in the YA collection.
By completing this form you acknowledge that you are comfortable with the level of content inside these texts and permit your son to borrow from this collection. A copy of this will be retained and added to the system to allow borrowing from the YA collection.
Should you have any questions please contact the library team via library@scotch.wa.edu.au
