CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.

They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.

Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.

Our physical library

Our library provides a stimulating and friendly space for group activities, reading and storytelling.

Each week, the students are able to borrow from the large and varied collection of novels, junior fiction, picture books and nonfiction texts. The library supports classroom learning with extensive literacy resources and equipment for all the Key Learning Areas.

Year 6 students can volunteer as library monitors who promote responsibility and respect for the library space.

As students engage with a variety of resources, we hope they develop the research skills to support their lifelong learning journey.

eLibrary

All our students have access to the eLibrary - the ultimate digital learning tool for reading and learning.

The virtual library provides unlimited access to thousands of e-books, e-magazines, audiobooks, videos, research information and even bilingual resources with just the click of a button.
