MORE opportunities beyond the classroom will come from developments at the school, including a new hall, classrooms and amenities.

The internal structures such as steel frames are up and expected completion of stage one is early September.

Principal Trish Boak said works are progressing well, with two new classrooms and four refurbished classrooms in the grade 1-2 section.

With an enrolment of 415 students, Ms Boak said the extra space and new meeting areas will provide opportunities for students and those with special needs, catering for both ends of the spectrum.

She said there will be storage for music equipment and a second set of toilets for the junior and senior students of the school.

An attached kitchen also gives scope for the school to offer catering after school community gatherings.
