Richmond Green
SS has a shared use agreement with the town of Richmond Hill for the use of the
library. The Richmond Green Branch of the Richmond Hill Public Library is on
site attached to the north end of the school facility.
During the
school day, classes visit the library for resource-based learning
experiences created and facilitated by both classroom teachers and the
librarians. The library programmes actively foster literacy and the
joy of reading, as well as assisting students to develop research skills that
they will need for academic advancement.
