Learning Commons

The Learning Commons provides a safe, friendly environment, offering a balanced collection of print and digital resources to meet both curricular and personal interest needs. Through virtual and physical learning partnerships, we provide integrated learning opportunities which are global, connected, social, cross-curricular and interdisciplinary.

In partnership with classroom teachers, the teacher-librarian teaches guided inquiry, whereby students learn to define problems, form questions, explore ideas, analyse, synthesize and evaluate information and communicate new understandings. We strive to challenge students to think critically about the information they find, to instill in them a passion for reading and learning, and to equip them with multiple literacy skills for success in life after secondary school. The Library has 26 computers and several tablets that can be used for assignments, database inquiries and internet research. The school Librarian offers seminars on bibliographic format, reputable websites and periodical databases.

The Simcoe Composite School Learning Commons is currently open each day from 8:45 a.m. until 2:50 p.m. Students are able to sign-out books for school and personal use. Students on “spare” may use this space to complete assignments and homework in a supervised environment.

The Simcoe Composite School Learning Commons also has a cafe seating area where the students can bring a drink or eat their lunch while reading, studying, or chatting with friends.
