The Learning Resources Centre [LRC] provides for an extension of the classroom learning experience with an emphasis on reading, research, ICT and problem solving. The centre supports the delivery of the curriculum through resources to support student learning; facilities for study, help, advice and support for students and staff; a homework support club once a week.
We are located on the 1st floor of the main college building, next to the staff room, putting the LRC at the centre of the college and provides for a flexible range of working areas and study environments including quiet and silent study, computer areas, photocopying facilities, printers, scanner, a bits box containing stationery which the students can use whilst working in the LRC.
