The school has over 32 classrooms, 1 physical education hall, a staff room and a newly built centre for students with disabilities such as autism and down syndrome. It began construction in October 2015, after the completion of the new traffic management system and car park. The new building was completed and fully operational for 2016/2017 school year.
