When originally
designed, Loganlea SHS had the fortune to have been sited on one of the most
attractive natural settings in the district. This fact and size of the campus
contributes to the feeling of space and calm that is characteristic of the
school community. Over the past four years Loganlea SHS has pursued a targeted
facilities improvement program aligning with the latest developments in
educational resources.
These
features have enabled the school to create a variety of specialist teaching facilities
that support the diversity of curriculum. Examples of this diversity include:
A dedicated Junior Secondary Precinct co-locating year 7 and 8 in a refurbished block, featuring
flexible learning spaces, colourful and modern furnishings, interactive technologies
and physical resources to enhance learning. Toilets for Junior Secondary
students are located within this block and supervised by staff during break
times.
