Resource Centre

Karen Kankkunen Teacher-Librarian		Julie Castle Library Aide

The primary role of the teacher-librarian is to assist students and teachers to get maximum benefit out of the resource centre. This includes: -

* Developing a school resource collection that supports the school curriculum and the interests of the school community.

* Working to develop students, individually or in classes, to develop the information literacy skills necessary for students to become independent and lifelong learners.

* Networking with organisations outside the school community so as to expand the options available to students and teachers in their learning and teaching.

* Promoting a positive approach to libraries and their role in education and the wider community.

Whenever students are in the Library ­ whether in class or independently - they can get help from the T/L or library assistant. Students with specific learning needs may also access the Learning Support staff who are based in the library. The learning support team and teacher-librarian may also work with teachers in class supporting students.
