History
Originally named The Stoyles Library, after the first GHS headmaster Herbert G. Stoyles, the original library building was opened with the school in 1929. In 1939 a new library was built in what is now the TAS block, but this was soon outgrown. Our current building was opened in 1981 and continues to evolve to this day.
Our Staff
Borrowing
Students can borrow -
The senior fiction and senior non-fiction collection items (of which there are only a few) are only available to students in years 10-12 unless parental/caregiver permission has been provided to the Teacher Librarian to borrow these books.
Students need to have their school student ID card to borrow.
Books are returned via the returns slot in front of the library desk.
Students are unable to borrow new books if they have any overdue items. Email notifications of overdues are sent out weekly to students and students are encouraged to return items on time to ensure everyone has access to the items they need.
Resources
Mindfulness
The library is a vibrant, flexible learning school resource that provides a welcome space for all students and staff. The library not only provides resources to promote academic excellence but also prioritizes wellbeing and promotes inclusivity. The library provides mindfulness activities and crafts, including origami, colouring in, sketch books and pencils, journals, and planners. You can find all the materials and inspiration you need in the two trolleys near the front desk.
Puzzling Club
There is always a 1000-piece puzzle on the go on the table opposite the library front desk. It is wonderful to see junior and senior students working together to get these finished and the sense of group achievement when the final piece is placed.
