Facilities

The recent upgrades to our school facilities reflect a commitment to providing an inclusive, supportive, and dynamic learning environment for students. These enhancements not only cater to the diverse needs of our students but also offer opportunities for personal growth, vocational training, and life skills development. Each addition is designed to foster creativity, independence, physical well-being, and academic success, ensuring that all students have the tools and support they need to thrive both in the classroom and beyond. Below are some of the key improvements made to enrich the student experience.

The new commercial kitchen enables students to gain hands-on experience in cooking and food preparation, fostering independent living skills and providing training for potential careers in hospitality. It also serves as a space for life skills development, helping students to practice nutrition, hygiene, and meal planning in a supportive environment.

The upgraded library and media room offer students access to a wealth of educational resources, digital tools, and media technology. These spaces encourage independent learning, reading for pleasure, and the development of digital literacy skills, which are essential for academic success and future employment opportunities.

The newly upgraded classrooms feature modern, accessible furniture and learning aids tailored to the diverse needs of students with disabilities. These improvements create a comfortable and stimulating environment that enhances engagement, promotes individualised learning, and supports the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The installation of new, accessible toilet facilities and improvements in disability access throughout the school ensure that all students, regardless of their physical abilities, can move around the campus safely and comfortably. These upgrades foster a more inclusive and dignified learning environment for students with mobility challenges.

The new reception area provides a welcoming, organised first point of contact for students, parents, and visitors. The space is designed to be easily accessible, ensuring that everyone entering the school can do so with ease, while also enhancing the school's professional and supportive atmosphere.

The school’s investment in upgraded technology, including interactive whiteboards, computers, and assistive devices, ensures that students with disabilities have access to the latest tools for learning. This technology supports differentiated instruction, personalised learning experiences, and prepares students for the digital demands of modern life and future employment.

The new first aid room, staffed by the school’s own registered nurse, ensures that students have immediate access to professional medical care in case of injury or illness. This facility provides peace of mind for parents and staff, while also promoting the health and well-being of students in a safe and supportive environment.

The extensive new ground works around the school improve accessibility and ensure that the campus is safe and navigable for all students, including those with mobility challenges. These upgrades include new pathways, ramps, and outdoor areas designed to enhance the overall environment, supporting both practical use and recreational activities.

The introduction of an outdoor café provides students with a relaxing space to socialise, practice life skills, and engage in vocational training opportunities. The café offers a hands-on experience in hospitality, including food preparation, customer service, and management skills, while also promoting a sense of community and belonging within the school.

The new court area is designed for physical activities, sports, and recreational purposes, offering students the chance to develop coordination, teamwork, and physical fitness in an accessible environment. The court is ideal for both structured and informal physical activities, fostering social interaction, confidence, and healthy lifestyles.

The new gardens provide students with an opportunity to engage in therapeutic horticultural activities and learn about gardening, sustainability, and nature. These outdoor spaces promote well-being, sensory stimulation, and environmental awareness, and offer a peaceful, quiet place for relaxation or mindfulness exercises. The gardens also support vocational training in landscaping and horticulture, offering real-world skills.
