Terrigal High School Library
Terrigal High School library offers a friendly and supportive learning environment for the school community.
We encourage a love of reading amongst our staff and students and our collection is continually evolving to reflect the interests of our readers. The library is open Monday to Friday from 8am for senior students and 8:30am for our junior students.
Our library is a comfortable, air-conditioned place for all learners to have the best possible environment for their learning. There are two areas with computers for class use, one of these areas is available to students during their break to work on assignments or schoolwork.
Research
Students are encouraged to use the library facilities to undertake research for their assignments. There are a number of other places that students can also access a wealth of quality information at no cost. Please take a look at this PDF document for instructions on how to access the databases at Central Coast Council Libraries and the State Library of NSW.
