Library
The Library holds a central place in the life of the College. Here students and teachers gather to share learning and the love of reading.
Our Library, Our Community
The 404精品 Library mission is to support the core values of our Brigidine school in fostering compassion, courage, hope, hospitality, justice and wonder into our teaching, our pastoral care and our services to the College community. The Library underpins the Strategic Intention that 鈥淭ogether we will inspire a passion for life long and reflective learning where all learners聽flourish, and聽engage with the deep questions of life.鈥澛�
Spaces
The Library provides welcoming and safe spaces to our students, teachers and staff as well as members of the wider college community to read, learn, study, teach, discover, meet, play, perform, discuss, create and research in an inclusive and stimulating learning environment. Our Library spaces are available for college co-curricular activities, including 鈥楤ook Week’, 鈥榃rite聽 Book in a Day鈥� and clubs for 鈥楤ook Talk鈥�, chess and films as well as regularly showcasing student work from many areas of the curriculum.
Research Resources
The Library provides the College curriculum with timely and contemporary learning and research resources in both physical and digital formats. Our curated resources facilitate robust 鈥業nformation Literacy鈥�; supporting the students to continually question the validity and sources of information, viewpoints and ideas.
See details of our resources in the 鈥楲ibrary Resources Brochure鈥� below.
Reading
Our generous fiction collection supports wide reading choices for the college community. Students are encouraged to read and are guided to select books appropriate to their age and interests. Years 7, 8 and 9 have a 鈥楻eading Connections鈥� class with a Teacher Librarian once per cycle that is embedded within their English program. The 鈥楻eading Connections鈥� program aims to immerse students in literature, broaden their imagination, deepen their empathy with the world around them and increase their reading fluency.
