Library
RLHS Library supports the school’s vision of developing “confident, connected, actively involved lifelong learners” through its services, collections, and programmes. Learners are at the center of learning in the library. We give every student the opportunity to learn, enjoy reading, and create new knowledge and understanding in the library.
Most importantly, we provide a safe, sheltered environment for students before school, intervals,s and lunchtime.
