THE LIBRARY

The Library is staffed by a qualified Librarian and is open all day, including lunch times. The Library’s computer system is connected to the Public Libraries. This means that pupils will automatically join the Public and school Library when they start at the school.

Using the Public Library system gives pupils free access to a wide range of online newspaper databases and other materials.

The school Library houses books, magazines, newspapers, audio books, DVDs, videos and board games.

These resources support the various curriculum areas and the general recreational interests of the pupils.

The computers in the Library offer access to the Internet and several software programmes used for revision and study. The Library works in co-operation with departments within the school by providing resources to support each subject as well as teaching information and study skills, which will assist pupils both in school and in later life.

A careers section houses a comprehensive range of information in both print and multi-media form, as well as prospectus for Universities and Colleges.

When in S1, pupils have the option of joining the Power Readers scheme. This scheme encourages them to read a wide range of literature. Certificates are presented to pupils who have achieved awards at assemblies.
