Resource Centre
The school Resource Centre is a valuable asset that provides access to a range of technologies, books and resources in an air conditioned environment. Students can borrow books and enjoy activities every morning from 8.30am and at most lunch breaks. The library is closed after school.
Children of all year levels are encouraged to borrow books regularly from the Resource Centre at borrowing times and during the lunch hour. Resources are borrowed for a two week period, however they can be returned at any time before their due date. Loan extensions may be obtained by reprocessing borrowed items back through the centre.
To help protect library books, each child must have a waterproof library book bag, measuring approximately 40 x 30 cm. (Please refer to the booklist).
You can instil a love and respect for books and reading by:
- reading to your child regularly
- having a safe place to keep library books when at home
- reminding your child when their books need to be returned
- returning books promptly to the library to be mended if they are damaged.
We value our collection of resources and trust that you and your children will help us to maintain it.
DIGI Tech
Students access iPads, laptops and interactive whiteboards in their classrooms to build skills to interact and effectively use technology to support and enhance their learning.
Sporting facilities
As part of the Federal Government’s Building Education Revolution Program the school built a multi-purpose indoor sports complex called “The Birdcage”. This complex not only provides the school with a tremendous indoor facility for various aspects of the Physical Education Program but also provides additional court space for netball, basketball and tennis—away from the quirks of the Brisbane weather.
The school currently hires The Birdcage to a range of community endeavours.
Children also have access to our own oval on the banks of Ithaca Creek, a second tennis court adjacent to the oval, adventure playgrounds, an undercover games area for physical education lessons, skipping activities and ball games. These outstanding facilities are in addition to the general play areas within the grounds.
Playgrounds
Specifically designed playgrounds have been developed by the P&C to support the enjoyment and physical development of the children. The P-3 playground consists of a large sandpit, fort and climbing equipment for gross motor and imaginative play. This playground feeds on to the top oval allowing for multiple choices of activities for our lower years students.
During 2020, the P&C redeveloped the senior playground to reinvigorate the space. It now is a Ninja Warrior course.
In 2016, a complete refurbishment of the school oval was completed to create a safe, secure and high quality play environment for our students. New soccer goals now frame the fully irrigated oval along with the new cricket pitch.
