Emmett Hall holds a special place in the school's history, being part of the inaugural construction in 1965. Initially designed as a multi-purpose room by Bates, Smart and McCutcheon Pty Ltd and built by DRD Constructions Pty Ltd, it was later named after Kelvin Emmett. Mr. Emmett, the first Junior School principal and a foundation teacher in 1966, left a lasting impact on the school. After his retirement in 1992, the room was dedicated to him in recognition of his contributions. The hall continues to serve multiple purposes, symbolising the school's commitment to its foundational figures and their enduring influence.
Fun Fact: Kelvin Emmett was the first Junior School Principal, a Cricket Champion and coach, he would burst into song at any given time, he performed in school productions and the school choir. He was a dynamic, fun loving dedicated individual who made education unforgettable and fun.
