Overview
The school completed its multi-purpose hall named after Australian actress Marina Prior and a shared learning space called 'SCIL' named after the school's educational enrichment project of the same name in 2009.[3] The two buildings were officially opened by the school's Board of Directors and local MP Bronwyn Bishop.
The school has a Global Opportunities Program which aims to build global bridges through community partnership, cultural understanding and shared learning. GO projects have involved sending teams of staff and students to Cambodia, Rwanda, Uganda and Moree. GO teams work in a range of contexts, including running children's programs, English literacy development, and professional development for local teachers.[4]
