Design Characteristics

Suburb:Robertson
  • Although this is an attractive and vibrant school, it bears no resemblance to its early self
  • It grew from an original ten classrooms along the front, to which four more classrooms were added in 1959, including two kindergartens
  • A huge addition was made in 1993 that included a library, another gym and three new classrooms; it was at this time that the school was completely overhauled and resurfaced to pull together the old and the new
