Resources​​


The Library has an excellent range of Fiction and Non-Fiction Books for all ages and abilities. 

There is a Reference Section housing various magazines. 

We offer a range of activities, clubs and events at lunch, after school and throughout the year.

Membership


All students are automatically members of the library and are allowed to  borrow 3 items at one time for a period of 4 weeks. One of these books  must be their Accelerated Reading Book

Reading


All Year 7 and 8 students will participate in a reading program.

The NGRT program is a computerised program that tests  reading comprehension.  Students select books on their reading level,  which is determined by an assessment. The books are read  independently and once finished a comprehension test is taken on the  computer.  Each book is worth a certain amount of points based on its  length and reading level.

This enables both the Librarian and English Staff to monitor the progress of each student and  guide them to appropriate books for their level and interest.
