The College runs a Homework Hub for all students on Mondays and Tuesdays in the Library from 3:30pm – 4:30pm. Students from all years are welcome to come along for extra assistance, revision, study or to ask questions on material that is unclear. Each day, there will be staff from a variety of learning areas to assist students.

Arriving Late to School
If arriving after 8.40am, students must report to Student Services, where their arrival will be recorded. A note should be provided explaining the reason for the late arrival.

Arriving Late to Classes
When a student arrives late to class, their subject teacher will record their lateness. Should the student be released late from a previous class or activity that teacher will record the reason in the Student Diary.

If a student needs to leave the College to attend an appointment, please follow this procedure to ensure the student's safety:

• The student must bring a note from a parent/guardian prior to the appointment.
• When the student is about to leave the subject classroom, the note is shown to the class teacher and then is taken to, and handed in at Student Services, where the student’s early departure will be recorded before they leave the College premises.
• Students are required to sign out at Student Services before they may leave.

Students will not be permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours without written permission (signed note or email) or a call from Parent/Guardian or Deputy Principal.

Many students use the JF Moloney Library throughout the school day to study, select books for research or recreation, prepare and print work, borrow or use devices, or simply to relax or read alone or with friends. Our spaces enable students to choose whether they wish to work by themselves or in a group, share a booth, find a quiet spot in a book-lined alcove, enjoy a chat in the comfortable seating area or use the meeting room. 

The library is open 8:15am - 4:00pm, with recess and lunch times being particularly popular. UNO and chess remain firm favourites for those wanting to play a board game. 

Our fiction collection is shelved by genre, making it easy for students to find a range of authors in their preferred story style. The fantasy section is particularly well-used. Non-fiction books, magazines, reference books and the ever-popular graphic novels are also available. Students can access a range of online resources, with various databases available to support their studies.

Students access their library account and ePlatform (eBooks and audiobooks) using their Single Sign-on authentication details. Online databases are also available to support research needs. Physical resources can be borrowed using their student SmartRider card.
