Library

The school library has a collection of approximately 5000 fiction and non-fiction books, a small collection of CDs and posters. Students need to keep their books in a library bag to protect them. To encourage care and responsibility amongst students, and to maintain the collection, all materials that are lost have to be paid for by parents. 

Students are encouraged to use the library independently. This is achieved by:

  • Teaching them how to access information through a variety of media.
  • Encouraging students to select books in their own time.
  • Encouraging individualised and small groups of 2-3 students to locate information and research tasks and assigned by the class teacher during school hours.
  • Enhancing their interest in literature.
