The Stoddart Centre

The Middle School and Senior School Library is housed in the Stoddart Centre, named to acknowledge the valuable service to the school by the Very Reverend Lindsay Stoddart, former Chairman of the School Council and currently Dean of Hobart and Mrs Jan Stoddart, former Head of Libraries. It is a key resource of the school. It is a modern spacious building, including general reading and teaching areas, tutorial rooms, a senior study room, computer research area and curriculum support area.

The School Library is well supplied with both print and web resources to support students in their learning and research. The staff of the Library is on hand to assist students and teaching staff in the retrieval and effective use of information. The Library is also responsive to the changing curricular and instructional needs of the School.

Classes are able to visit the Library to find resources and the Library is open to students before school, at lunch time and after school.

One of the three computer laboratories available in the School is also located in the Stoddart Centre.
