OUR LIBRARY

A school library encourages curiosity, innovation and problem-solving. It is integral to the cultural and social life of the school. The school library is a central point for all kinds of reading, cultural activities, access to information, knowledge building, deep thinking and lively discussion.Research shows the significant difference well-resourced libraries can make to student learning outcomes.
The school library is uniquely positioned to take a school and curriculum wide view of resourcing and technology for learning. Library staff are valuable members of curriculum planning and instruction teams within the school.They have a broad knowledge of inquiry models, information texts and tools, and literature to suit students at all levels.They also work with individual staff and students to understand their particular information or reading needs, then help them access the materials they need.
