The students also have links to other local and national libraries if we cannot find information in college.
Helping Students find Information
A programme of library sessions are designed to help Year 7 classes
We will be using the house system to show pupils when they can use the library at break and lunchtime.
Monday - Fistral
Tuesday - Porth
Wednesday - Towan
Thursday - Tolcarne
Friday - Year 7 library clubs
There will be prefects from each house on duty each house day and they will ensure the library is a quiet place in which students can research library resources, use the computers for information or read quietly. Mrs Good or Mrs Wootton will be on hand to help anyone with their research or to help with finding and issuing resources
