It serves 723 students with 1 principal, 4 campus leaders, 52.9 teachers and 17.7 Education Support Staff; totalling 75.6 EFT staff. The Master Plans for Stage One, of a two stage Regeneration Project to build a new school were successfully tendered. When construction is completed the four campuses will co-locate onto one site.

The primary staff co-plan their curriculum, their literacy improvement strategy and are trialling teaching within open classrooms, supported by a teaching and learning coach to prepare for teaching in twenty-first century designed learning neighbourhoods. Camps, activities and after school care programs are designed to build the new College identity and promote learning.
