Special Projects

Building Upgrade - Ross Park facilities are looking marvellous!

Ross Park was allocated $6 million by the NT Government to upgrade school facilities. In addition, the Australian Government provided $2 million as a BER grant. 

Stage 1 was completed in 2008, with a major facelift to the assembly area and a new quadrangle. 

Stage 2 was completed in July 2009 with 6 new junior classrooms and a General Purpose Room and they look fabulous! 

Stage 3 rebuilt remaining classrooms using BER funding. In addition, we have a new block of toilets, a completely renovated staffroom, upgraded air conditioning and a big shed that houses our school bus! It is a vast improvement on our 1961 facilities.

Stage 4, with two additional classrooms, a specialty Music Room, new paths and a facelift for the Administration building, was completed  in May 2012. Just waiting for the new bike shed to be installed!

The Melody Fence was an added bonus thanks to Arts NT and local artists.
