Britannica School is paid for by the College, which means St Pat's students have access to information that is not available on the Encyclopedia Britannica website via Google. 

Britannica School has information specific to student's assessment tasks, so it is a valuable research tool.

Britannica School has three reading levels to choose from:


Primary - primary school level
Middle - early high school years 
High - senior high school years

 

We suggest you start searching for information at 'Middle' level. This way, you can see if the 'Middle' information is suitable and change to 'High' if needed.
