Our school library is a precious and highly valued space.
A vibrant hub of learning, stories and exploration, the library provides a welcoming place to meet, collaborate, research, relax and improve information literacy.
It empowers students to be imaginative and critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and discerning researchers. Our library is a place where curiosity is nurtured.
Staff foster a culture where reading is encouraged and celebrated, and texts are deeply valued for their ability to help students understand themselves and their world. This ‘reading culture’ contributes positively to students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Our students can access authentic, age-appropriate resources at any time through the Oliver library management system and ACEN digital library’s Sora app.
Students are encouraged to become familiar with the library and its resources. Library staff are always available to assist students in using the library. Students using the library should behave in a quiet and courteous manner and not disturb others. There is no eating or drinking allowed in the library at any time. Bags should be placed on the shelves outside the library before entering.
The library is open:
- From 8.30am every morning
- At recess and lunchtime each day
- After school Tuesday and Thursday until 3.30pm
