Our well-equipped libraries have been established for over 20 yearsandprovide access to a wide range of print and online resources to encourage students’ recreational reading and support students’ learning across the curriculum.Children use the libraryboth in formal and informal class groups and as individuals. Books may be borrowed before school, during lunch breaks and during allocated class times.
The libraries on each campus are open during the lunch break for children to sit quietly and read or talk with friends. There are also a range of activities for children to enjoy during the lunch break.
