Buildings
The main school building is separated into three sections - one being the old building, one being the "new" building and one being the new Performing Arts facility, opened in 2010. The old building has two floors, the ground floor consisting of the English Department and some of the Modern Languages department. Upstairs of the old building is mainly mathematics. However, again there are two Modern Languages classrooms. In the "new" building, there are some recreational areas on the ground floor which includes Reception, the snack bar, and the social area with vending machines. There are also the medical room, Senior Leadership Team offices and the janitors' office. In classrooms, there is P.E (connected to the swimming pool), Business Education, Art and Design, Computing/ICT and "Successmaker." On the second floor there is Home Economics, the library, the prefects' common room, History, the staff room and another Business Education classroom. Upstairs on the final floor is Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, and the Technicians' base. The brand new extension consists of two RME classrooms, three music classrooms, a suite of music practice rooms and a state-of-the-art Performance Space, with Bleacher seating for 240 people. There is also a technical block which consists of woodwork, metalwork and technical drawing rooms.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
