School facilities

Read about the facilities we have for students to use in our school.

Gymnasium

The school is fortunate to have a gymnasium on school grounds. This is used by students during school time but is available after school hours and during some school hours for general community use, through a formal agreement process.

Hire charges are very reasonable and special rates exist for individuals and groups. Please contact the school for bookings.

A ‘Community Use of School Facilities Agreement Form’ will also need to be completed prior to use.

Playground and gardens

We have 2 nature gardens where students can plant, nurture and learn.

A Junior primary playground and an Upper Primary playground are both under shelter, a large school oval with football goals, a cricket pitch, then a standalone batting cage.

Two synthetic courts, one primary and one secondary for outdoor sport.

Library

The Community Library opened 1981. This building is no longer in use as a library, indeed no longer at the school but is located at the Orroroo Airstrip.

The library is located in the main stone building.
