Learning Resource Centre​

The Learning Resource Centre is named after our first principal, Mr Napoleon (Leon) Touzel. Mr Touzel believed that school should be about more than the acquisition of knowledge and should also be about building friendships, positive memories and learning about how to use your abilities to help others.

The Learning Resource Centre provides dedicated areas for study, research, reading and social interaction. It is a place where students are able to access a wide range of resources and technologies to support their educational and recreational needs. The centre provides three interactive teaching spaces and a desktop computer area for classes to use technology to enhance their learning.

Our printed and digital resource collections are carefully curated to support the College curriculum and are easily accessed by students and staff from school or home. 

The collections are always changing, with more books and resources added regularly. Student agency in the contents of the recreational student collection is strongly encouraged and requested titles quickly become available. Student members of the Reading club greatly assist with this or request titles directly with Miss Marshall, our Librarian.

Weekly lunchtime library clubs include the Circle of Friends Reading Club and Craft Club. Board and card games are available before school, at recess and at lunchtime.  We also have a very well attended weekly Crochet Club run by Ms MacArthur in the library.

We are fortunate to welcome Geelong Regional Library Corporations' Children's and Youth Services Librarian Laura Farrington to the Learning Resource Centre fortnightly. Miss Farrington provides interactive, fun lunchtime sessions showcasing popular genres in Fiction such as 'Mystery and Suspense' and 'Manga.' We support and encourage our students and staff to be active public library members, building bridges to learning opportunities in the wider Geelong Community.

Our Library staff aim to:

• create a welcoming, safe and educational space for students.
• encourage students to take an interest in and develop an enjoyment of reading and literature through reading sessions and author visits.
• support students in developing their information skills through individual research assistance and team teaching with classroom teachers to improve our students’ abilities to locate, assess and apply information efficiently and accurately.
