Our State-of-the-art Library
LIBRARY
The three well-stocked school libraries are age-appropriate reservoirs of resources for the Primary Years Programmes (Nursery to Grade 5), Middle School (Grades 6 to 8) and Senior School segment (Grades 9 to 12). Each have intranet-based Wi-Fi facilities and are inviting quiet zones for resource work, reflection and reading.
