Facilities

Our School is situated on a generous sized well-treed site. The grounds are a feature of our School and this is due substantially to the voluntary efforts of our School community. The spacious grounds provide for both passive and active play areas. An oval, asphalted and climbing equipment areas cater for more vigorous activities, while shaded sandpits and shaded seating areas cater for passive activities.

The School has an extensive garden area, including a large hothouse which is currently also used by the Somers Foreshore Committee. The children are responsible for the garden beds where they are growing all kinds of fruit and vegetables which are then utilised in the School’s cooking program.

The buildings consist of both permanent and relocatable classrooms. We operate nine classrooms, an art room, a library, a LOTE room and a multi-purpose room. The administration area comprises three offices, a staffroom and first aid room. Every effort is made to keep the buildings well maintained both inside and out.

The School has refurbished the old (original) school house. This building was moved from an adjacent site in May 2002 and is used as our performing arts centre (among other uses).

The School Council is continuing to develop a Master Plan that will incorporate the possible siting of any new buildings, regular maintenance of the present buildings, and the continual improvement of the grounds.
