Library Mission
'The school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today's information and knowledge-based society. The school library equips students with lifelong learning skills and develops the imagination, enabling them to live as responsible citizens.'
IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto (2001)
Notre Dame High School Library is committed to providing the best possible service to the school community:
· Offering free access to a wide range of resources that support the school’s educational aims and ethos;
· Promoting a culture of equality and diversity in which all learners’ needs are respected and supported;
· Providing learners with an opportunity to exercise choice and show responsibilty and citizenship;
· Developing skills for finding, understanding, using and creating information, which are vital to independent learning and effective participation in a democratic society;
· Nurturing a love of literature and reading for enjoyment to develop literacy, imagination and empathy.
The library is on the top floor of the building and hosts a spectacular view right across the city.
