INTRODUCTION:

 

St Johns Park High School library staff prides itself on providing a harmonious, safe and welcoming environment.

Within the library quality teaching and learning continues to be the main focus through ongoing curriculum development, ongoing professional development and ongoing evaluation, whilst liaising with both teachers and students so to provide them with up to date quality resources.
It is essential to develop within the student body an attitude of not being satisfied with the status quo, but rather to develop an inquiring mind and to act as a positive agent of change.
