New look library
Our school library has recently undergone an exciting transformation, creating a more welcoming, modern, and functional space for all students. The renovation included refreshed interiors, new bookshelves, a new staff office with new desks and cupboards, and a more open layout designed to support both independent and collaborative learning.
We are also introducing new furniture, including comfortable reading lounges, study desks, and exercise bikes. The updated library reflects the school's commitment to fostering a love of reading and creating an environment that inspires learning. We look forward to seeing our students make the most of this vibrant new space.
New library Monitors
We’re excited to announce the appointment of our new Library Monitors! These students have volunteered their time to help keep our library a welcoming, organised, and supportive space for everyone.
Library Monitors play an important role in assisting with daily tasks such as shelving books, helping peers find resources, maintaining a quiet study environment, and supporting library staff when needed. Their contribution helps ensure that all students can enjoy a positive and productive library experience.
