Library

The library is central to implementing, enriching and supporting the teaching and learning program at Quakers Hill High School.

We strive to develop information literate students and support an information literate school community and endeavour to instil a love of reading and discovery within our students, so that they are empowered to become independent lifelong learners.

  • The library collaborates with other teachers to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
  • The library provides a wide range of relevant resources, services and technologies to satisfy the diverse curriculum and recreational needs of its users.
  • The library promotes a strong reading culture and provides varied opportunities for users to engage in literature enrichment activities.
  • The library creates a welcoming, user-centred environment with a dynamic learning culture, staffed by skilled, committed and caring professionals.
