News From the Library

 

MHS Library 

The Marsden High School Library has recently undergone a refurbishment with many changes taking place over the course of Term 4. A significant amount of planning and effort has gone into these changes, most of which are not always visible to students using this facility.

The completion of Stage 1 is ongoing, however visible changes are now happening. We have now cleared the downstairs floor space, improving the use of the resource area. We also reconfigured this space, making room for the arrival of new furniture and creation of specific and flexible learning spaces throughout. These may seem like small changes, however they are important and necessary. This reconfiguration allows for a fresh new approach to teaching and Learning, "as our classrooms adopt changing technologies, teaching techniques are evolving and these prototyped classrooms are being used by teachers to test these new ways of engaging students." (Adrian Piccoli). 

Our new learning spaces will give students access to 30 new laptops for period to period borrowing within the library, enabling students to work on assignments, homework and other projects at school with WiFi enabled printers available for printing purposes. These changes also now allow students direct access to the Learning Support Hub.

The Marsden High School Library is proudly a Next Generation Learning Space with an abundance of new resources. We continue to grow our extensive collection of non-fiction and reference books, the latest fiction, graphic novels, as well as a wide variety of magazines for student recreational reading and learning. 

We look forward to the next stage of our refurbishment unfolding and will keep you informed as we continue to move forward. We would like to say a very big thank you to our Teacher Librarian Ms. Langelaar and Library Assistant Mrs. Knight for all their effort during the library upgrade.
