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 has 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 is underway, with three additional classrooms and a facelift for the Administration building, due to be completed early in 2012.
