School Facilities

Since moving into our new campus in 1997, we are able to provide a modern, well equipped environment for our students to work and play in. We have a long history of sporting and academic achievement and we are delighted to have the facilites to sustain this.

The school has a number of unique features that help make our students' time with us as safe and comfortable as possible. For example, our first-year students are on a separate campus (adjacent to the main one) to help them make the transition from primary school to secondary school. Each of the facilities in the list below is marked to indicate its main function:
