Facilities

Our school offers a range of facilities designed to support both students and staff. We feature modern, well-equipped buildings that provide fresh and functional learning environments.

Situated on spacious grounds filled with native plants and trees, our school provides ample space to learn, connect, and play—nurturing an inclusive and thriving school community.

Administration and Student Services

The Administration building houses the Front Office for general enquiries and payments, the Principal’s team, Sick Bay, and the Staff Room.

The Hub is a multi-purpose space used for social skills groups such as Lego Therapy, allied health appointments, meetings, and Outside of School Hours Care.

The BER building, which includes six classrooms, is also home to our Student Support Team.

Academic Facilities

Our school features four fully equipped buildings for our Prep to Year 6 classrooms, designed to support student learning.

In addition, our Paddock to Plate, Science, and Visual Arts classes each have their own dedicated spaces in separate buildings, all well-resourced to foster learning, creativity, and hands-on exploration.

At the heart of the BER building lies our Library—a welcoming space for reading, research, and quiet reflection.

Our newly built, fully equipped stadium is used for physical education lessons, assemblies, performances, and a range of school events.

Connected to the stadium is a state-of-the-art kitchen with outdoor access, where students learn cooking skills. This space is also used during events, for our Stocky Meal Deals, and the Breakfast Club.

Note: The stadium is available for hire outside school hours. Please contact the office for more information.

Outdoor Facilities

Our school grounds feature adventure playgrounds, a sandpit, cubby houses, and four-square courts, encouraging imaginative and active play.

Basketball and netball courts, a grassed football oval, and additional access to the Apex Community Oval, also provide plenty of space for games, sport, and fitness.

Students have access to a vibrant veggie garden, complete with chickens and bunnies, where they can learn how to grow their own food and use it in cooking activities.

At the heart of the school is the Stocky Dome, a large undercover area used to meet, celebrate learning, and host community events throughout the year.

Our yarning circle provides an inclusive space for storytelling, reflection, and connection.

Car parking

There are several parking areas around the school, with multiple access to entry gates. Apex Oval, located behind the school, offers ample parking and is the recommended area.

At the front of the school on Stockdale Road, there is a pull-in bay designated for quick drop-offs and pick-ups only.

The staff car park at the rear of the school is restricted to staff and to parents of children with a disability. This measure is in place to ensure the safety of all students in and around that area.

A bike shed is located next to the staff car park for students who ride to school.
