A bit about the school I work at!
I may or may not have mentioned in an earlier post that I work in a School Library as a Library Assistant. To give you some perspective on my working environment, I will tell you a little about my school and our Resource Centre (the new fancy name that school libraries tend to be called these days because they are no longer just about books).Our school is a 8 year old Catholic School in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne. We have over 1750 co-educational students aged from Prep to year 12. It is a shared single campus library for all students and with only 2 Full-time, 1 Part-time and 1 Head of Library on staff for the Resource Centre we often find ourselves challenged in varying ways.
Of course our Budget is modest to say the least and of course that still doesn't lower the expectation on the Resource Centre to deliver exceptional service. We aim to enable the College community and it's needs as well as providing a positive experience for all.
Our Resource Centre is very large! It was built in 2010 under the Rudd Government education scheme and includes 8 open spaces, 2 class rooms and 2 community rooms adjoining the back of the library.
