Design Characteristics
| Suburb: | Rossmere-A |
|---|
- Its south face onto Sutton Ave. contains all of the old part of the school, which is two storeys high and broad, mostly covered with stucco and stripped of detail except for some sixties style in a brickwork screen at the canopied entrance; these sections are part of the original design, erected in 1960 and in 1964
- Additions eventually grew the school around both ends of its old section and across some of the back, precipitating a small internal courtyard that provides natural light and ventilation
