Library Resource Centre
The Library Resource Centre is open from 8.15am, during recess and lunchtime, and after school until 4.15pm for study, research and reading.
Our collections support the curriculum at Geelong High School and cater for a wide range of reading abilities and preferences. We also provide access to ‘The Age Online’ which can be accessed on personal devices whilst at school and we have a small selection of magazines for reading in the Library.
The Library Resource Centre is a safe and welcoming environment for students across all year levels. It is a place of connectedness, where we discourage the use of electronic devices and encourage students to make real life connections with other students in the space.
We provide an opportunity for study and quiet reading, as well as encouraging the playing of board games, such as Chess and Snakes and Ladders and encourage quiet conversations.
Our aim in the Library is not only to promote a love of reading but also to explore creativity through activities such as sewing, knitting, jewellery-making and paper crafting. The Library Resource Centre is also a MakerSpace where students are invited to creatively tinker with materials and explore ideas.
We regularly connect to the wider GHS Community through efforts such as supporting House fundraising days and working with the Music and Art Departments to allow opportunities for performances and displays.
