Location and Facilities:

St Hilda's Senior School Technology Centre and Junior School Library

The Bay View and Chidley campuses each have a well-resourced Library and some classrooms also contain their own collections specific to the curriculum.

The Senior School Library is housed in the new Information and Technology Centre which is a lively, colourful, well-equipped space in the School. The Centre has a large book collection, periodicals, magazines, and the latest computing equipment including a Help-Desk for students and staff. There are spaces for quiet reading and study, and computer labs for class and individual work. It is open for all students from 8am - 9pm weekdays, except for Friday 8am - 5pm. It is also open at the weekend from 2pm until 5pm.

The Junior School Resource Centre provides an ICT-rich learning environment conducive to 21st century independent learning. The collaborative management of learning activities by our resource specialists, classroom teachers and specially-trained library and ICT technical staff combine with a valuable collection of traditional literature and resource materials, on-line collaborative work spaces, virtual learning environments, digital resource repositories, a suite of m-learning (mobile learning technologies) and a networked laboratory to provide a task oriented approach which maximises the use of this sophisticated, purpose-built facility.

Library skills programmes are taught to new students and to all Year 7s as they enter Senior School. These skills allow students to maximize the School’s resources and prepare for tertiary studies. Refresher courses are made available to students of all years.

Contemporary social issues are often explored through regular thematic displays that encourage girls to engage in recreational reading, whether fiction or non-fiction. The Library has copies of the latest fiction and non-fiction titles. Years 7 and 8 girls are introduced to more advanced and diverse reading material through a guided reading programme.
