ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

Our most recent campaign raised more than $6 million in support of the School’s largest and most ambitious building project in its history – The Shipsters Road building for Middle School Art, Science and Technology. The impressive new facility opened its doors to students on Monday 22 July 2019.
