Library

CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.


They provide access to a range of resources that help kids on their Learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.

Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.



Physical Library

OLQP’s library has a large collection of fiction and non-fiction books to suit all reading and interest levels in the school. It is fully computerised and the children are encouraged to use the computers to search for reference material as well as for borrowing and returning of books. The library serves as a support to the learning processes of the classroom, as well as being an important recreational facility. Each class has a library borrowing time each week, as well as time for co-operative lessons that support learning across all curriculum areas.


Library Classes

Each class has a library period each week during which the children are encouraged to select and borrow books. Time is also spent with the Teacher Librarians looking at information skills. Primary classes are also allocated a research block in which they may work with the Librarian on locating and using information.

 

Library Hours

The Library is open from 8:30am till 3:05pm (it is closed during recess).
