Campus
Campus
The school's Binishell is one of the only 15 built across NSW schools, with 4 others remaining across the state. Currently, it is used as an indoor gymnasium, fitted with equipment to suit many sports, 2 change rooms, 2 bathrooms and a gym fitted with strength-training equipment. The first attempt at building the Binishell in 1974 resulted in a collapse due to workers failing to check air pressure, there were no injuries caused by the collapse. There were plans to demolish the Binishell because of maintenance costs and the construction of Block K, but these plans never went through. New facilities were opened in 2022 under a New South Wales Government program that aimed to provide schools with new and upgraded facilities. Block K provided 30 additional teaching spaces with specialised classrooms for Science and Cooking classes. Block J acts as a multipurpose school hall, it is used for school events such as concerts and talent shows. It can also be used as an indoor Basketball/Netball court.
