Teenage boys are still reading! We are really encouraged by our weekly issues’ statistics. These compare favourably with those of some other Boys’ High Schools.

The library is open all day from 8:10am to 4:30pm and is very well used by students and classes. We have a number of computers and a colour printer, to help students research and do their assignments; plus we have books, graphic novels, cards, board games, keyboards and guitars to entertain our regulars!

Each student gets $7.00 credit at the beginning of every term for school-related printing and photocopying. If they need more, they can pay $5.00 at the Finance Office. Students are not permitted to use their laptops unless they are doing schoolwork, in which case they request and display A4 “permission cards”. In the past we had boys playing games and watching YouTube – now they play raucous card or chess games.

Our book catalogue is available online through Stratus’ Home page so have a browse!

We welcome Liam Ludick, Ryan Goodall and Brendan Goodall as new Student Librarians and congratulate Jacob Dawber (Year 12) on his selection as our Deputy Head Student Librarian!
