The Preparatory - Year 12 Library is a central hub for learning in the School, providing a welcoming and stimulating environment for research and reading. It is staffed by a team of skilled and experienced teacher librarians and library professionals who work closely with students and their teachers. Members of the Library team provide support for all areas of the curriculum and work in close collaboration with teachers to ensure that every student develops the skills to become an independent learner.
A range of resources, both print and digital, is readily available to students to meet curriculum and recreational needs. Access is provided through the online catalogue where students may also check their loans and make reservations.
- A key aim of the library is to develop and foster a love of literature. This is achieved through the continuing development of high-quality fiction collections, the provision of annotated reading guides and regular literature classes for students from Preparatory - Year 10.
- Members of the Library team work closely with teachers to integrate the explicit teaching of information and digital literacy skills.
The Mandeville Mentors Program plays a key role in supporting student learning across Years 5 - 12. Mandeville Mentors are high-achieving, recently graduated Loreto Toorak students employed to provide specialist tutoring for students on a group or one-on-one basis. This after-school program is held Monday to Friday and provides a variety of academic enrichment opportunities to current students.
