A number of significant upgrades to the buildings have been conducted over recent years which have enhanced the education capacity of the facility, whilst maintaining its historical integrity.  The school has a small catchment area with a current enrolment of 375.  An enrolment management plan was established over a number of years to manage increasing enrolments in relation to the limited space provided by the site.
