Library

Wyndham is a reading community and the library provides a wonderfully-varied collection of fiction and literature that stimulates students to read widely. The extensive non-fiction collection is complemented by a technology-rich environment that provides access to sophisticated databases and online resources.

Staff members work hard to equip the students with advanced information skills so that they will become lifelong learners. The library is the busy hub of school life. And even when the lights are turned out the libraries are still working, providing on-line material to the school community through remote access to the library catalogue.
