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.[4]

House system

The school has a house system of four houses. Students are assigned to a house and those with siblings who also attend the school are placed in the same house. Students participate in a number of sports events throughout the year, including the Swimming Carnival, Cross Country and Athletics Day. Points are awarded to each house based on its participation rate. The houses are:

  • Allungah (yellow)
