In 2016 it installed the largest hybrid solar system in Australia with an 170KW panel system and additional batteries.[4]

The school has many bands including Junior, Senior, Year 5 and Stage, many choirs including Junior, Senior and Voiceworx and many orchestras including Junior, Senior, Year 4 and Year 8 Chamber. A stringed instrument is compulsory in Year 4 and a brass or woodwind in Year 5. In Year 6+ students have the option of learning percussion instruments.

The school had a policy of corporal punishment until mid-2012, making it one of the last schools in Queensland to use this form of discipline.[5] Paddling or caning was given for "serious verbal or physical abuse, theft or misbehaviour".[6] In 2008 the school's paddle was used, with parental agreement, on 10 occasions.[7]
