The School today and its facilities

The school has an enrolment of approximately 200 students. The School has a purpose built Child Care Centre catering for 2 - 3 year olds, a Preschool for 4 year olds, and a full Primary School from Transition to Year 6.

There is also a Secondary class, at this stage catering only for the middle school years.

In addition the school has 4 purpose built language classrooms, and a Language and Culture Centre for the production of language materials.

Other buildings include administration, the family/dining room and kitchen, the school library, ICT lab (computer room), the staff room, and a multi purpose hall.

In 2010 a new swimming pool was added as well as an extension to the library.

The School is registered as an Independent or non-government school and is governed by a School Council. It has an annual budget of over $3 million and a payroll of around 50 staff members.

Its parents can not afford to pay fees and so the school is totally dependent on Government funding.
