The School is located on Shands Road in the Hornby district, a light industrial and retail area, 11 km from the Christchurch Square.

The school complex comprises 4 main blocks, a dental clinic, hall, swimming pool, adventure playgrounds and a large grassed area. Buildings are centrally positioned on a large site amidst an attractive environment endowed with a wide variety of trees and shrubs. There is a good balance of grassed and hard surface areas, three bark/adventure playground areas, and a well maintained swimming pool.

The community is encouraged to use the school grounds outside school hours and vandalism is a rare occurance.
