Facilities
The school received a significant upgrade between Q4 2017 and Q2 2019, where the food and textiles classrooms, administration area, staff rooms and cafeteria were demolished and replaced by two buildings, one containing the school's office and staff facilities, while the other contains a new cafeteria, two cooking classrooms, lecture theatre, year 12 study room and four new classrooms. The project also included refurbishments to the toilets, maths hub, library, performing arts centre and a brand-new covered locker area.
