We also have minibus for student excursions.

Library

The library aims to assist students to develop effective literacy skills and the ability to access information from a local to global nature. Year 7 students undergo a short library Orientation Program. Library staff assist all students to use the library effectively on an individual basis as well as conducting Information skills classes. The reading of quality fiction is promoted. The library is open to Year 11 and 12 students throughout the school day and to all students before and after school and at lunch-time. The library supports classes conducting research projects with a range of both electronic and hard copy resources.

In addition to printed material, the fully computerized library houses audio visual equipment and computers for student use.
