Our school library is a dynamic learning space where we support all students in the process of learning within the context of the principles of guided inquiry. We also encourage our students to develop a love of reading as a recreational activity. Students can access our computer laboratory during formal opening times and by arrangement- we endeavour to be as flexible as possible. Our library also has a range of games and jigsaws that students can play with during library opening times. We will be providing 'Makerspaces' for our students as soon as possible.

Library monitors 2018
Our Library monitors ensure that our library is a well organised environment. They work very hard to learn their role and the different systems necessary to help students when borrowing and returning books, accessing the computer laboratory, updating The Premier's Reading Challenge folders and coding added books, sorting books into shelving boxes and then shelving them in the correct location, collecting returned books directly from classrooms, laminate and cut bookmarks and myriad other tasks as required.
Our selected training team has been working enthusiastically during the last few weeks to learn how to support our school and students. Our final team has been selected and they are:
Georgia D., Lara L., Isabella L., Harrison K., Alyssa K., Lara V., Renel S., Riley K., Dune E., Gabriela G., Emily H., Rebecca D., Matthew T., Felicity L., Kiara C., Joshua S., Amy N., Antonio S., Anisia A., Chloe B., Jessica O., Kiana E., Scarlett A., Angela S., Annalyse T., Indiana C., Imogen S., Savannah L., Arbela M., Madison C. and Lara C.
Congratulations to these students! I am sure we will have an amazing year!
