Library/Resource Centre

Our library is an important part of our learning environment. Our librarian works closely with classroom teachers to support class programs. Classes have scheduled time in the library each week, fostering information literacy skills and a love of books and reading. Regular borrowing is actively supported. Younger children are encouraged to bring a library bag on their library day. We welcome parent and volunteer support in the library.
