  • An Administration Building with a library, staff offices and amenities.
  • A Junior Learning Building with classrooms, sensory and breakout spaces, art rooms, kitchens, and staff offices.
  • A Senior Learning Building with classrooms, STEM room, tech/manufacturing room, art room, kitchens, sensory and breakout spaces, and staff offices.
  • A Community Building with a competition-grade gymnasium, canteen, and performing arts space.
  • A sports oval, playgrounds, 2 outdoor hardcourts, a bike shed and a bus shelter.


We are proud to continue contributing to the construction of Specialist Schools and providing students with intellectual disabilities state-of-the-art facilities to support their education.
