The Sirius Library
Library hours: Monday – Thursday: 8 am–3:20 pm
Friday: 9 am-3:20 pm
Our library is a multi-media educational resource centre for the whole school. As well as housing a very large up-to-date fiction area catering for all age groups, the library is also the place for finding material for assignments, to study for tests, to catch up on homework, to play chess, to browse the Internet or to just catch up with friends.
It’s a place where senior students may come at any time to do research using books, the Internet, and many other resources. The library is also wireless, so that students may work independently doing internet research.

In close proximity to first class ovals as well as the harbour, Mosman High also provides a range of water sports including kayaking, surfing and sailing.
