In addition to the main buildings, there are also two freestanding classrooms that have been converted to a Club Hub and Bands Room and four double portable classrooms. External facilities include three separate adventure playgrounds with shade cloth sun protection, basketball courts and an oval with a cricket pitch and soccer nets. With a strong emphasis on environmental issues and sustainability Australian native plants and many mature trees, provide shade to assist sun protection and our chicken run with wheelchair accessible path ensures all students can be involved in ways both big and small.
