The rooms are well lit, air conditioned and  have heating.  Every classroom has an Interactive Whiteboard, access to computers- new pods have recently been built to allow for greater access.  Classrooms have modern furniture and plenty of storage space. 

RESOURCE CENTRE (Library and ICT Centre)
The hub of any school is the library and at Doncaster Gardens our state of the art Resource Centre has all the essentials to stimulate learning and provide students with up to the minute information. While classroom teachers take their class to the library to teach independent research skills, they also encourage children to borrow from a wide selection of books.

The library's computerised catalogue system is online throughout the school, so students are able to locate material before they even enter the Resource Centre. The Resource Centre has thirty-eight internet points and a multi media centre.

All classes have at least two sessions in the Resource Centre each week - one session focuses on computer skills while the second session is for developing library and research skills and book borrowing.

At lunchtime the library becomes the Chess Club venue. Students from Prep-6 take part in elective Chess Club.  Students join groups at their level of play. Many chess teams have competed in competitions at a regional, state and national level.
