About the project

We transformed the school’s outdated facilities with a new Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) building and science block.

The new building and grounds have been imagined as the new life of the school, revitalising the campus and introducing the early stages of the proposed school 'heart'.

The facilities include a library, science hub, arts and graphics hub, and maker space.

Funding

In the 2019–20 State Budget, the school received $12.064 million.

About the project

We built a socially inclusive outdoor area that includes a playground specifically built to support the needs of all students in years 5 to 9.

This is set in a sensory garden which allows for slow and reflective play, and include hammocks, c​ubbies, visual art and sound play. Raised garden beds help define smaller spaces for discovery, and be used to grow plants for touch, taste and smell.​

Funding

In 2017, the school received $200,000 from Round 3 of the Inclusive Schools Fund.
