Overview

The school completed its multi-purpose hall named after Australian actress Marina Prior and a shared learning space called 'SCIL' named after the school's educational enrichment project of the same name in 2009.

The school is known for its inclusive nature, catering for a diversity of students. The school also has a strong policy against harassment, with a number of students suspended each year due to harassment complaints.[ citation needed ]

The school has a Global Opportunities Program which aims to build global bridges through community partnership, cultural understanding and shared learning. GO projects have involved sending teams of staff and students to Cambodia, Rwanda, Uganda and Moree.
