All Go in the Library

Even in lockdown, the library has been a very busy space. We have had lots of students studying in both the Junior and Senior Libraries. The Learning Support staff have been doing a fantastic job, supervising all the groups, each with set work and ZOOM lessons. The rest of the school may have been very quiet, but the library has been a hive of activity.
