Upper Harbour School, Albany, Auckland. Y0-6 Decile 10

Opened in February 2006 Upper Harbour school reflects the deep thinking that has gone into its design, from classroom pods, 'awhina' or shared spaces and a new library.

The library's main feature is a pod of iMacs, which forms an ICT core. Around this are the face-out collections (including mobile shelving for sophisticated picture books), attractive furniture and cushions, prominent signage, and on the walls, student artwork.

For more information relating to all aspects of school library management and development you can contact your local National Library library adviser.
