Opened in April 1998, the Media Centre comprises a spacious, well equipped library, the Sam Bircher viewing room and a Tutorial Room. Recently major renovations have incorporated a fully equipped state-of-the-art, 32 workstation computer room into the centre.

The fully air-conditioned facility is central to the academic programme of the school and lends itself to relaxed reading or research.

Reading is actively promoted by both the library and language staff. Boys are able to borrow up to 5 books for a period of 3 weeks. A well used reservation system ensures access to popular titles and boys are encouraged to make suggestions of titles they wish to see in the library. The library functions are fully computerised, with work stations available for database searches.

Every boy is guided through a series of information skills to enable him to progress as an independent learner. Subject research lessons in the library are supported by both library and subject staff. The proximity of the computer room allows free movement between print and electronic media.

2 Qualified librarians, 2 library assistants and a cleaner manage the facility, which is open during the week from 7.30am until 4.30pm and 4pm on Friday.

A team of approximately 40 library monitors from all forms provide a voluntary, yet essential service, assisting with circulations and ensuring access to the approximately 17 000 book titles, in addition to a range of magazines, newspapers, and electronic media.

Photocopy facilities are available to the boys, as are services such as scanning, printing, laminating and sales of CD's, DVD's etc
