About us
The Glendale campus
1982 saw us move to our permanent home at Glendale. This site has slowly been transformed into six acres of gardens (vegetable, flower and herb), paddocks (for cow, sheep, ducks and bantams), orchards (fruit trees and vines) and play areas of grass and shady trees for children.
A range of buildings adorn the landscape and provide space and facilities to aid the children's education.
Centre-stage is the Kindergarten Hall, which doubles as a gathering place for school assemblies, concerts and orchestra practice.
Close by is a large kitchen, dining room, library, and various courtyards for activities and play.
The Primary Complex adjoins this area offering bright classrooms and workshops for lessons, as well as more covered play areas.
For the High School a separate building, complete with laboratory, is complimented by the newly constructed Design and Technology complex (seen below).
Designed by members of the College of Teachers this facility houses a Multi-media lab, wood and metal workshops and ceramics classrooms.
The facilities and environment of the school have been designed to create a safe and inspiring atmosphere in which children can be children - one in which they can engage with nature, their teachers and others to play, explore, create and learn.
