The face of the school keeps on changing with the introduction of new demountable buildings to accommodate the growing needs of the students. By 2014 thirteen of these demountable buildings were allocated to the High school and one became the new Administration Office at the top end of the school site providing parents with much easier access to school services.  In the Primary School we introduced 7 new classes, 5 learning support rooms, a resources room, a students’ services office, a staff room and a co-ordinator’s office, all situated in the newly refurbished building on the south side of the school. In addition 7 new demountable buildings were also erected on site to provide more classes. The Primary school computer room is now used only by primary students as we have introduced a new computer lab in the High school, along with a new facility for food technology of the commercial grade. In addition, 2 entry fences and a perimeter fence all around the school were installed to provide more safety.
