Buildings and Grounds
The school over the past decade has evolved greatly due to the increased funding. The original set-up of the school consisted of the Main Building, Junior Permanent Portables, Arts, Library Block and Gym + Annex (circa. 2002)
In the last five-six years, certainly during Principal Jennifer Small's era, major building works went on and are only now, in late 2010, finished. The school, which is dedicated to open-plan, team teaching, has:
- a Grade 5/6 Learning Suite upstairs in the completely refurbished building
- a Grade 3/4 Learning House
- a Grade 1/2 Learning House
- a Prep Learning House
- a huge Gymnasium
- a modern and fully functional canteen
- an Amphitheatre overlooking the netball courts

Famous quotes containing the words buildings and/or grounds:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Unfaithfulness ought to extinguish love, and we should not be jealous when there is reason to be. Only those who give no grounds for jealousy are worthy of it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
