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:
“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)
“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)
