Situated in the lush, green suburb of Durbell in Durbanville, the school boasts a library, an indoor sports centre, eight tennis courts, four computer rooms with close to 270 computers on our network, five sports fields, two basketball courts, a swimming pool, a technology centre and the only hockey astro-turf field in the Northern Suburbs.

Our aim is to:
