BCHS Library

Online Libraries

Access to our online library catalogue. To access the BCHS Library resources, and to sign out textbooks, students must use their eight-digit school ID number. Students may either use their school ID card, a clear photo on their phone of their ID card, or through an app that saves barcodes (such as Stocard). Our Library staff are happy to help you with this!

Destiny Discover

Access the newest format of Destiny on your personal device. Students can "order" their books from our school Library by searching the collection [through the above link], then emailing their title choice (and their full name) to br.library@spschools.org. The Librarians will check the book out to the student when they pick the book up in the school Library.

Exam Bank

One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice taking past versions and use Alberta Education released exams or the exam bank (www.exambank.com; see the Library or your teacher for the username and password). This helps you get used to the format of the questions, and–if you time yourself–can also be good practice for making sure you spend the right amount of time on each section.
