Discovery Centre
With construction beginning in 2005, the "Discovery Centre" was commissioned into use the following year. Officially opened on the behalf of the Minister of Education the centre brings new incentives for students integrating a world class learning environment, within IT-rich surroundings.
Guests and politicians from the local community attended the opening ceremony: the 2006 Year 9 students and teachers, various school principals together with 2005 Year 9 students who assisted into contributing to the Discovery Centre. During the ceremony a member formally opened the centre on behalf of the Minister of Education.
It has been intended for the Discovery Centre to open in 2005 but the final go-ahead did not occur until mid-2005. During construction students endured replacement classes in the Hall which had been organised to accommodate 4 classes - divided merely with non-soundproof boarding. Teachers used their initiative by conducting classes outdoors or in the amphitheatre.
