Facilities include a library, a basketball court, gymnasium, a canteen, an oval and a theatre. The school has a tradition of naming new facilities in a foreign language, the canteen is called Cibo Bello (Italian for 'beautiful food'), the gym is called Inbarendi (aboriginal for 'meet one another'), the library is called Anakalypsi (Greek for 'discovery') and the arts building is called Atelier.[3] The houses are Battunga (green) meaning rolling hills, Naturi (yellow) meaning sandy soil, Moorak (red) meaning mountains and Aroona (blue) meaning running water. The house names are derived from local peramangk words.
