By 1969, the school had grown to outstrip its former site and a new building was planned and subsequently erected at the western end of the town.

There was also a large removal of asbestos from the building resulting in a closure of several weeks.

The new science building offers students better access to studies and practical experimentation.

In October 2008 a new Support for Learning Base and Science Department was officially opened.

This is only in effect for the first two years of education, after which each student will choose their own subjects and will then have their classes allocated based on their course choices.
