[edit] The Grounds
The school is architectually divided into the primary and secondary, bisected by the entrance road and connected via an underpass. A gymnasium with a mezzanine, sometimes used as an art gallery.
The library, surrounded by extensive green lawns, is soon to be joined by a drama department, due for completion sometime during 2008 ready to be used during 2009. The school in recent years has been renovated so that the entry and focus of the school is to Oakmont Drive instead of the busy Gordon Road.
