About the project

We will build a double-storey technology building. This will give students better learning opportunities. It will also create places for 250 more local students.

In this significant upgrade, we will address the need for specialist teaching spaces.

The new hub will feature spaces for woodwork, design, textiles, food technology and media. We will also address key safety concerns by enclosing the elevated walkway between Buildings A and B.

Funding

In the 2021–22 State Budget the school received $50,000 for planning. In the 2023–24 State Budget the school received $17.800 million

Building C flexibility upgrade: we created a series of flexible double classrooms on the ground and first floors.

Outdoor gathering area: We created a central, protected outdoor area for large and small gatherings, opening to the student café.​​
