Our hall is also available for hire by community groups, providing additional revenue towards our school budgets.

Our new lab. houses 32 workstations and a data projector and combined with our library forms an excellent student resource/learning centre. This new addition compliments our networked Information and Communications Technologies system which extends throughout the entire school.
