We have three specialised Music rooms at our school: a Music classroom and two Instrumental Music practice rooms. These rooms are fully equipped with a variety of musical instruments, which are lent to students who are included in our Instrumental Music program for a period of one year.
Our hall
The Hall provides a venue for a variety of activities for the school and the broader community. Our school uses it regularly for assemblies, physical education, sport, dances, performances, special events and celebrations. The community hires the hall for sport, leisure and religious activities.
The amphitheatre
The amphitheatre space located beside the Hall is an open area venue used for performance, class presentations and group gatherings. It is covered with shades to provide a shaded meeting venue for students.
Our grounds
Our grounds provide facilities to support learning across the curriculum. Attractive covered areas, tables and chairs and concreted areas provide spaces for classes or groups of students to work outside the buildings.
The outdoor facilities make available open playing areas as well as purpose built recreation equipment. These are used to support our health related units, as well as providing exciting play spaces for students.
