Throughout the Christmas holidays a team of painters were hard at work giving the school a much-needed face lift.
The initiative was part of a pilot project funded by the Catholic Schools office in Wagga and one students have given the tick of approval towards.
Principal MaryJane Simms said the end result had made a real difference.
“It is amazing what a difference fresh paint makes and with the whole school receiving a facelift, it is an opportunity to add a splash of colour to our school,” she said.
“The students have really embraced the vibrant new colours.
“The majority of the classrooms are a fresh white, with occasional bright walls and doors to add interest.
“When students are in appealing surroundings it definitely makes learning more enjoyable.”

The painting of the interior of the classrooms, Italian language room and music room is now complete and the painting team is now working on the outside of the school.
Assistant principal Luisa Tavella was pleased students were playing their part so as not to interfere with the project.
“Last year when we had a major playground upgrade, the students were very sensible about staying on the outside of the temporary fencing,” she said.
The project should be completed by the end of the first term.
