New Performing Arts Centre

Featuring a 200-seat theatre, two separate teaching areas with sprung floors and a flexible learning area, the new Performing Arts Centre will be tailor-built to the needs of our drama, dance and music students.

Gym renovation

As part of the upgrade, the existing gym interior was completely renovated to create a full size basketball court, weights room and associated support space. Electronic, adjustable basketball hoops will replace the existing fixed hoops to allow for more tailored game-play. 

English and Humanities renovations

In 2020, our English and Humanities building was repainted, glass updated and carpets replaced along with the installation of hot-desk areas in the main foyer to encourage independent work.

New Science building 

In 2018, a new science building was commissioned with state-of-the-art labs and teaching equipment to enrich the curriculum of our science classes. Each classroom is fitted with a smart board and transformable desks, allowing students to adapt the space to fit their needs. 

Maths renovations

In 2019, renovations were completed on the school's Maths building. Featuring new classrooms and flexible shared learning areas, the building gives students the space to work both in- and outside of traditional learning settings.
