The Library is the central resource provider for staff and students. We aim to provide resources that will enrich, extend and support the total school curriculum, taking into account the varied interests, abilities, skills and maturity levels of the students.

It is also a recreational and reference centre for the school, placing an additional emphasis on equipping students through resource-based learning programs with adequate skills for life-long learning in an information rich world.
