Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Call it what you wish: the Library, the Resource Centre, or the Learning Commons . . . we welcome all designations, as long as you understand we are not only a place where you can find a great book to read, discover different print and online resources that have been purchased specifically to help you succeed in your courses, or work alone or collaborate with peers on school assignments. We are also a place where you can find specialized staff who will help you learn how to locate, evaluate, use, cite, transform, and present information in a way that best suits your purposes and learning style. Of course, we can also match you up with the perfect book that is just for you! (We also take student requests for book orders).
Thornlea teachers work with teacher-librarians to develop curriculum-based research projects that will help you learn the critical thinking and inquiry skills you need to succeed not only in high school but also in whatever post-secondary path you take, so don't be surprised if you find yourself here working with your teacher and classmates during class time.
Also, you're also always welcome to come here before school, after school, or during lunch to check out our print collection, for assistance from Library staff, to work at one of our collaboration-friendly tables or at one of our 21 student-designated desktop computers and 12 laptop computers. We also have some 'comfy' chairs in which you can relax with a good book or a magazine, four cafe-style work-stations with built-in charging ports and several new power outlets for personal devices.
In addition, we currently run these student clubs: Thornlea Amnesty International Book Club, Thornlea Reads, and Thornlea Peer Tutors.
We hope to get to know you and to provide you with the assistance and support you need to achieve your goals!
