Learning Commons / Library

Due to COVID-19 protocols and our cohorts, we are altering how we use the commons and how our students can borrow materials.

The Learning Commons is at the heart of our school and provides a welcoming learning space for students to collaborate, inquire, create new knowledge and celebrate their learning.   The Learning Commons is committed to:

  • providing a positive and welcoming learning environment for all learners
  • supporting and encouraging a love of reading
  • developing responsible, effective and ethical users of information
  • offering technology access for all learners
  • fostering a passion for lifelong learning

Students are responsible for care of resources in our learning commons (books, computers etc.) and for renewing materials when needed. If an item is lost or damaged, there will be a replacement cost. Library cards are provided for all students at no cost at the beginning of the year.  

Parent volunteers are very welcome.

​​Learning Commons at the CBE

Today’s learners cannot imagine life without the internet and supporting technology. The concept of the traditional library is changing to include technology, online tools and spaces for collaboration and exploration.​​​

CBE students came away with a number of wins and demonstrated exceptional talent and skills as they competed in Skills Canada Alberta in Edmonton and the 2023 Skills Canada National Competition (SCNC) in Winnipeg. https://t.co/7Rigvcqpv6 #WeAreCBE https://t.co/GkTJe0yV9C
