EPlatform
To support reading from home we are now able to offer our students and staff free access to our collection of nearly 2,000 eBooks and audiobooks.
Please watch this video to learn more about our school ePlatform.
The ePlatform is full of bestselling, popular fiction titles and offers students a 24/7, 365 library while our print library in school is out of action. Students can borrow one eBook title or audiobook at a time, and that title will automatically return after 2 weeks, or students can return it earlier to loan a new title.
