Our library is a welcoming and supportive learning space and plays an important role in our teaching and learning focus. We aim to provide students with a set of research skills which will help them think critically about the information they need to succeed academically and in the world of life and work.
A fiction collection that caters for all reading levels gives every student the opportunity to read for pleasure – and this is the very best way to develop literacy skills. Extensive non-fiction and reference area offers up to date print resources on all knowledge areas. Recreational magazines, newspapers and special interest publications are available for perusal.
Digital and multi-media technologies are sources of information for students and are integral to our teaching and learning focus. The school subscribes to world book online, a digital encyclopedia which can be accessed on the internet at school or at home. The log-in identification and password are available from the library.
This is a reliable and credible source of information and students are encouraged to use it as the place to begin their research. This encyclopedia also offers a citation builder so students can reference their sources correctly.
