Welcome to our Library

Located in the new Kirinari building, the library is a welcoming, vibrant place of learning, promoting reading, collaboration and lifelong learning.

A wide range of print and online resources encourage students’ recreational reading and support students’ learning across the curriculum.

Library Services:

  • Created a 'Detective Theme' as a fun way to support learning as students develop skills to search for clues and locate evidence to verify their findings in all subject areas.
  • Plan and teach co-operatively with teachers. Lessons are embedded within class units of work, and are offered through Information Literacy and Inquiry Learning. This makes available great opportunities for differentiation.
  • Provides quality reading experiences that enrich growth and promote a love of reading through lessons, displays and promotions such as 'Readers of the Week', 'Lucky Book Borrowed' and 'Guess the Title or Subject Competition'.
  • Assists students either individually, as a group and whole class.
  • Organises and creates flexible learning spaces suitable for individual, small and large groups and comfortable furniture for students to relax, read and talk.
