There are 27 classes in the School and enrollment remains steady at around 900 students. The number of S1 classes is altered between 4 and 5 on alternate school years since there would be inadequate space to accommodate 30 classes if the School accepted 5 S1 classes every year.

Different amenities can be found within the eight storey building of the School. There are 26 classrooms, 4 science laboratories, a multimedia learning centre, a computer room, a geography room, a music room, an art room, a home economics room, a needlework room, a library, an assembly hall, an outdoor playground, a gymnasium with a bouldering wall and 2 teaching rooms. The assembly hall, all classrooms and special rooms are air conditioned.
