Narrandera High School has a relevant, current and well-equipped Library with access to accredited School Library Staff. Students can enjoy a warm, welcoming and safe environment, conducive to individual and shared learning, with equitable access to high quality resources in a variety of formats. The library supports cross curricular and instructional goals and responds to the diverse needs and interest of students. The NHS Library fosters a community of learning, helping to develop Information Literacy and Technology Skills as well as encouraging leisure time reading.
Junior students are welcome to come to the Library at Recess and Lunchtime. Seniors are welcome any time. All students are encouraged to visit the library at various times for classwork, research, quiet study, completing homework, assessment tasks and printing and leisure reading. We provide board games for students to engage with at lunchtimes.
The Library displays are attractive and informative and related to school units of work or current events. It has a comprehensive collection of reading resources (Reference, Non Fiction and Fiction books, Graphic novels and Picture books, and newspapers, magazines and study guides) as well as an array of modern technological resources to assist with supplementing the Curriculum. These include DVDs, Laptops, Chromebooks, computers, audio books, an accessible eBook ePlatform by Wheelers, subscription electronic databases such as World Book Online, Scanner, Photocopier and Printer, Cameras and Video equipment, electronic Smartboard, Video Conferencing facilities, Distance Education Study and Zoom Pod options and a Media Recording Service, ClickView, which is a comprehensive database of information videos, accessed via streaming to the students’ classroom or to their own Google Classroom.
