mission statement
The mission statement developed for a school in which I was the teacher librarian…
The staff of the Catherine Palmer Resource Centre
understand and undertake the responsibilities identified in the
International Federation of Library Associations /
UNESCO School Library Manifesto
and the
Australian School Library Association’s Bill of Rights
so that our staff can deliver all that is required to enable our students
to become competent and confident readers
and independent, efficient and effective creators and users of ideas and information
We are dedicated to providing and promoting
intellectual and physical access for all
to an extensive range of print and electronic resources,
tools and technologies which will
· meet the educational needs of all members
of our staff and student body;
· enhance and enrich our educational philosophy and curriculum;
· stimulate interest and independence in literacy
· encourage our staff and students to create and manipulate
ideas and information efficiently and effectively
so that they may become independent lifelong learners
