CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students 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.

Our physical library
Our library is the information hub of our school. We offer a diverse collection of both fiction and non-fiction books for students to borrow and enjoy at home.
Students have the opportunity to showcase their artwork for the whole school community. Their artwork contributes to our library’s bright and student-centred atmosphere.
Classes regularly visit the library to develop information literacy skills, as part of collaborative efforts between teachers and librarians.
Students love volunteering to help to run the library as library monitors.
Student support
Teacher Librarians are on hand to assist students with locating quality information from relatable sources and ensure it is used in an ethical manner. All library staff have a great passion for literature and are on hand to provide help to students to find their next ‘great read’.
