The library learning commons is an inclusive space for students and staff to use in a variety of ways. The learning commons offers space for students to do individual or group work, use computers, take out books, and print their homework (10 cents/page for all printing). In addition, students can make use of/participate in:

  • 3D printers

  • Lego
  • Comfy chairs for reading
  • Various clubs (magic club, graphic novel club, battle of the books etc.)

  • Computers are for school work only.
  • No food or drinks (water is ok).
  • Students must be in uniform.
  • No volume/sound from any devices being used in the library.
  • Students must be respectful of each other and the space.
