Church

The school is fortunate to be situated on the same site as Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish Church and Parish Hall enabling a close link between the school and the Parish community.  It enables our school community to widely embrace our faith and is regularly used by the school for masses, our sacramental program and other celebrations.

Every classroom has interactive whiteboards, ceiling fans, all with reverse cycle air conditioning, wet area, ample storage space and a range of desktop and laptop computers enabling an effective teaching and learning environment.

The school has wireless connection throughout which allows for a flexible use of technology to be incorporated into all learning areas. There are several iPad ‘pilot’ classes with the devices immersed in high student to device ratios, and exciting plans to grow this across the school. This is further enhanced with the use of Apple TVs creating a dynamic learning experience for our students.

Hall

Our school is fortunate to have the use of the Parish hall situated on the same site as the school and Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish Church. The hall is a well equipped area which includes ample storage, a stage, sound system, projector and WiFi allowing it to be used for a variety of purposes.

The school uses the hall regularly for weekly assemblies, presentations, school information nights, school discos, concerts and various other activities.

Camp Australia operates their After School Care program from the hall.
