The aim of our library is to empower every member of our school community to become lifelong learners who develop a lasting love of reading. Our library contains an extensive range of high quality, current and relevant print and non-print resources appropriate to the social, cultural, emotional and educational needs of our students. Centrally located within the school, students find there is always something to do, here. There are spaces to quietly sit and read a vast array of authors and genres, meet friends and play a game of chess and cards, perhaps practice the art of paper folding, draw pictures or design and build Lego masterpieces. Computers are always busy as students share the joy of playing their favourite games with friends. In our library students will always find a great place to stay and play.

Our library is open 5 days a week from 8.30am-2.30pm.
