About the project

We replaced an older building containing asbestos with a new architecturally-designed permanent modular building.

The new building features general purpose classrooms, a home economics space, withdrawal and respite spaces, along with staff, student and accessible toilet facilities and a laundry.

Our modular facilities require less time for planning and construction, resulting in reduced disruption to students, staff and teaching programs. They are sustainable and innovatively designed, with a comparable lifespan to bricks and ​mortar structures.

Funding

In the 2019–20 State Budget, the school received $966,420 through the Permanent Modular School Buildings Program.
