Our collection includes plenty of items you can use in the library, or borrow and take home, including:

  • Study notes and guides on a wide range of subjects including English, maths, sciences, religion and legal studies
  • Sample PIPs (Personal Interest Projects) from past years
  • Non-fiction materials for study and research
  • Classic and contemporary fiction, including many English syllabus texts
