Hub, an area to which all students have access. The Resource Center contains books and computers. Other areas of the school which were renovated include the maths building and the art building. A new middle school building was also erected. The school also boasts a fully functional theater area, containing up-to-date lighting and prop equipment, as well as a large seating area for performances such as the school musical held every second year. The school's basketball and tennis courts were also repainted with some new design changes making basketball and tennis a realistic choice for school physical education classes. Additionally, the school has created many "breakout" computing areas in the renovated areas of the school. This, combined with the three dedicated computer areas has increased the number of computers available to students to well over 40 units.
