Philosophy / Mission Statement

To create a friendly, inclusive, learner-centered “Learning Commons” environment for collaboration, inquiry, imagination and play to expand and deepen learning; an environment which is relevant to the school’s faith-based community, which supports the curriculum and teaching staff and which enables students to achieve their full potential as active participants in our increasingly complex and technologically driven society.

The "Learning Commons" is a new concept for School Libraries. It represents a shift in thinking from a library as a physical space that is a repository of books where students access prior knowledge to a place of flexible and collaborative learning - an environment that encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, literacy and the ability to filter and apply knowledge.
