The role of the school library and information
programs and services is to:
- Facilitate the planning and implementation
of learning programs that will equip students with
the skills necessary to succeed in a constantly changing
social and economic environment. Through resource-based
programs, students acquire skills to collect, critically
analyse and organise information, problem-solve and
communicate their understandings.
- Provide and promotes quality fiction
to develop and sustain in students the habit and enjoyment
of reading for pleasure and to enrich students' intellectual,
aesthetic, cultural and emotional growth.
- Cater for differences in learning and
teaching styles through the provision of and equality
of access to, a wide range of materials, fiction and
non-fiction, print, audio, video and digital.
- Provide teachers with access to relevant
curriculum information and professional development
materials within and outside the school; and opportunities
to cooperatively plan implement and evaluate learning
programs which integrate information resources and
technologies.
