Resourcing our school curriculum.
The O’Connor Resource Centre, located on the St. Patrick’s Campus (Years 9-12) of the College, plays a vital role in providing resources and services to our entire school community – staff, students and parents.
Named after Miss Nell O’Connor, a long time benefactress of the College, our resource centre exists to support the curriculum. To this end, we house a wide variety of teaching and learning resources covering a large range of mediums, from DVD’s and online databases to books and newspapers.
Our Resource Centre provides a fully equipped Audio/Visual Department. This enables students to film and edit productions for assessment, it enhances the curriculum by allowing teachers to deliver their subject content through the use of a variety of electronic mediums and provides the technology for a range of school events, including Masses, sporting events and the Performing Arts Concert.
