The space will be the home for Year 1 and Year 6 students in 2026.
The central hub of the school is the library. It is a wonderful space for students to sit and read or enjoy storytime with their classroom teacher.

The new Prep-Year 2 playground opened in Term 3 2025. You will notice in the image that it is under construction.
This area is where the Prep students gather before entering the classroom and sit for their fruit, morning tea, and lunch breaks.

The multi-purpose hall is where the school assemblies, liturgies and special events are held. It also hosts the Technology and Art classrooms. It is regularly used for PE. OSHC also uses the hall after school and during school holidays. It is also used as the local polling booth during an election.
The car park is shared with the parishioners, and we ask parents and carers not to use the car park to pick up and drop students off at school.
The STEM Lab is an auditorium style building and hosts students and teachers throughout the day. The P&F General meetings are held in the STEM Lab.
There are two Stop, Drop, Go zones at the school. One on Balaclava Road and one on Mestrez St. There are strict rules that must be adhered to when using the Stop, Drop, Go zones. Balaclava Road is the busier of the two zones, and we recommend using the Stop, Drop, Go on Mestresz St.
The school tuckshop operates Monday - Friday. The most convenient way to order is via the FlexiSchool App.
