Library

The library delivers a service aimed at improving outcomes for students. This challenge is meet by providing a range of current information sources, quality literature and an inviting space where learning and reading is supported.

Specific information literacy skills, literature appreciation and reading promotion are targeted by the Teacher Librarian in partnership with classroom teachers. This occurs during timetabled sessions and planned lessons and is supported by library policy and management.

All learning resources, including digital items are managed through the library database. Remote access to digital resources and the library catalogue is available.
