Our objective is to make the School Library Media Centre the heartbeat of the school community by stimulating the exploration of knowledge, the development of research in all disciplines and facilitating the acquisition of lifelong inquiry skills.
Library and Media Centre
We consist of two entities:
- The main library which helps with the needs of all students and members of the school community. It was modified in August 2011 to reflect a ’21st Century Information Hub for Teens.
- This space is equipped with the following facility; a Multipurpose Room, Staff Resource Centre and Makerspace
- The Sixth Form library lends support to the sixth form students and staff by providing for their academic & social needs. The library was officially opened in 2008 under the stewardship of Mrs. C. Mooleedhar (Library Technician). In July 2018, the library was modified to reflect a ’21st Century Hub for Young Adults leaving to begin their academic studies at universities of their choices. The space is now equipped with a Multipurpose Room for the purpose of viewing audio-visual content and study group activities.
