Cronulla High School Collection
Our library holds an enviable collection that ranges from the most recent fiction novels, both classic and modern, to a comprehensive variety of graphic novels to an informative, and sometimes quirky, non-fiction section. Our texts also cater for advanced readers all the way through to those who need a bit more guidance. Along with our physical space, our virtual library is also versatile and flexible – always with up-to-date resources and subscriptions to assist in student learning.

Oliver also retains an account for each student detailing current loans, reservations and overdue notices so parents and students are able to see at a glance what resources are on loan or overdue.

It is important for students to be able to convey learned knowledge in their own words and also attribute theories and concepts to appropriate scholarly sources. A basic guide to our referencing and citation standards is available on Moodle. Cite this from me is also our preferred bibliography builder. Cronulla High School uses APA referencing format.
