Facilities Upgrades and Improvements

• Library Redevelopment

• Student Hardcourts Redevelopment

• Student Support Services – Counselling Rooms Redevelopment
• New Carpet in Maths/Science TWS, S8, S10 and Gymnasium Foyer
• Gymnasium Floor Resurfacing
• Painting of internal and external walls, doors, poles around the school.
• Continual roll out of new security cameras
• All carpets have been steamed cleaned, all floors buffed and all windows cleaned

Most of the above projects are totally school funded, from funds we raise through the generous support of parents and careful financial management at the school level. Over the break we also had to deal with major flooding from the heavy rain that occurred on Thursday December22nd 2022, resulting in the staffroom, VCE study room, Admin Corridor, SPACE and English Teacher Workspace having their carpets destroyed and pulled up. Temporary flooring has been laid to make it safe until new carpet is relayed. This is being managed by the VSBA.
