Facilities
The school has an original structure that houses the office, staff room, one classroom and archive room. The ground level of this building houses the kitchen facility. A newer building contains double teaching spaces and a separate demountable houses our Early Education Centre (EEC). Our most recent addition to our school buildings is a new Resource Centre which also contains a computer lab. The main Adminstration office was also upgraded in 2010.
School facilities include a large covered play area, two bitumen tennis courts, a bitumen netball/basketball court and a large paved eating area. There are three well-grassed ovals that are used for sport and athletic carnivals and two shaded forts cater for the gross motor requirements of students. A large sandpit is located near the EEC.
