The Resource Centre is a welcoming space for all students, whether they enjoy reading on comfortable lounges, studying quietly or socialising with friends. Chess is another popular activity, with students borrowing sets during breaks or signing up for the yearly chess competition.
Students are encouraged to borrow from our contemporary collection https://centenaryshs.softlinkhosting.com.au/oliver/home/news. In fact, students participate in book purchases. Morning teas are offered each term where new fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels are made available for viewing. Book suppliers attend with displays and students select or recommend purchases for our collection.
The Resource Centre also subscribes to a number of very useful electronic databases that students can access on or off site. These include:
EBSCO Database - Australian/New Zealand Reference Database
EBSCO Database - Literary Reference Source
EBSCO Database - History Reference Source
EBSCO Database - Science Reference Source
Education Queensland eBooks Digital Library
Students have access to online textbooks for Science, Humanities, Mathematics and specialist subjects through Campion, while English setworks are borrowed from the Resource Centre.
It is clear why our Resource Centre is a user-friendly space designed to be frequented by students and staff alike.
